FTP, give the common name for works written by David Hume and Thomas Macaulay which chronicle events in a certain nation.
One of the earliest books of this type was Laurence Echard's, while Nicholas Tindal translated and extended the most thorough one of the early 18th century, which was written by Paul de Rapin.  In 1670, John Milton published a work of this type "collected out of the ancientest and best authors."  Tobias Smollett's "compleat" one was written as a rival to a more famous one, while Oliver Goldsmith's one in four volumes was written for children.  At the age of 16, Jane Austen wrote a parody of that Goldsmith work, though her version only canvassed 250 years.  The greatest 18th century one appeared in six volumes between 1754 and 1761, while the greatest 19th century one appeared in five volumes between 1848 and 1861, two years after the death of its author.
