The Diary Of The Late George Bubb Dodington, Baron Of Melcombe Regis. George Bubb Dodington An expansive primary source offering a day-by-day account of the political life and public service of a prominent 18th?century English statesman. The diary chronicles Dodington’s experience in high politics from March 1749 to February 1761, including his resignation and reappointment to major offices, his negotiations with the Prince of Wales, and his interactions with the key political figures of his era — Pitt, Fox, Grenville, the Pelhams, and the Newcastle ministry. It weaves together court intrigue, parliamentary debates, and the volatile diplomacy of the era, including matters touching Hanover and Anglo?European relations. An Appendix supplements the diary with papers and a narrative of conversations between the Prince and Dodington and other political actors. The editor, Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, explains the manuscript’s provenance, defends publication, and reflects on the moral ambiguities of public service and ambition. A valuable primary source for scholars of Georgian politics and statecraft, offering incisive portraits of power, faction, and governance in the era.
