Defence of the Rockingham Party: In Their Late Coalition With the Right Honourable Frederic Lord North

A historical political treatise arguing in favor of the Rockingham coalition and the aims of an administration formed in 1782. It examines the motives, alliances, and principles behind the alliance, and asks readers to consider loyalty to liberty, public virtue, and practical governance in a time of intense faction.

This edition presents a clear, yard-by-yard account of the coalition’s rationale, the characters involved, and the challenges they faced from rivals and public opinion. It invites readers to weigh the merits of coalition politics and the pursuit of reform within a constitutional framework.

Delivers a contemporary perspective on 18th‑century political coalitions and governance
Analyzes figures like Rockingham, Shelburne, Burke, and Fox in context
Discusses ideals of liberty, virtue, and public duty in a changing Britain

Ideal for readers of historical political debates and 18th‑century parliamentary history, those seeking insight into coalition government and its critics.
