This book is a compilation of newspaper articles, advertisements, and commentary printed in London during the 1749 Westminster by-election, an event which saw two candidates seeking to represent the electors of Westminster in the House of Commons. The book provides a glimpse into 18th-century English politics, providing readers with insight into the political intrigues, prejudices, and aspirations of the candidates and their supporters. The documents collected in this book provide readers with a thorough understanding of the dynamics of political elections during this period. The vicious and highly personal attacks made on the candidates in the press offer a sharp commentary on the rough-and-tumble nature of 18th-century electioneering, which was fueled by competing ideologies, personal ambition, and nationalistic sentiment.
