This is part of a Librivox project to record the entirety of A History of England from the Accession of James II which was written by Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 19th century. Librivox is a group of volunteer readers who take public domain texts and create public domain audio from those texts. To volunteer as a Librivox reader visit Librivox.Org.
