The history of ENGLAND and SCOTLAND is given under these separate heads in the Encyclopædia, down to the Union of the Crowns in the person of James VI.; from which period the history of the two countries is brought down to the rupture of the peace of Amiens, under the article BRITAIN. In order to afford more time to digest a comprehensive account of the great and important events which have succeeded, and of which Britain was the prime mover, we shall defer the continuation of the history till we reach the word ENGLAND.
