This book delves into the fascinating history of the English Secretary of State, a crucial position within the British government. It explores the evolution of the role, tracing its roots back to antiquity and its gradual development into the complex, multi-faceted office it became by the end of the 18th century. Through detailed accounts of the Secretaries' duties and the historical context of their appointment, the author reveals the intricate workings of power and administration within the English monarchy. The book examines the gradual division of the Secretary of State’s duties into the three distinct departments of Home, Foreign, and Colonial affairs. The author illuminates the dynamics of these departments, including the interplay of political and ministerial changes on the appointment and function of Under-Secretaries. The book also sheds light on the critical role the Secretary of State played in overseeing the governance of the British colonies in America, culminating in the American Revolution. The author meticulously compiles a comprehensive list of English Secretaries of State from the reign of Queen Elizabeth to the end of the American Revolution, providing valuable insights into the individuals who shaped the course of history.
