James Tyrrell, 1642-1718, English historical writer, shared the political views of his friend John Locke, and wrote the General History
of England to confute the monarchical opinions of Robert Brady (see the previous number). The first volume was originally
issued in 1696, and reissued in 1700 with a new title-page. The other volumes in Jefferson’s copy were of the
first edition. Tyrrell’s intention, as stated on the first title, had been to bring the history to the reign of William of III,
but he died before completing the work which ends with the reign of Richard II.
