Excerpt from Remarks and Collections of Thomas Hearne, Vol. 1: Suum Ruique, July 4, 1705 March 19, 1707
Hearne was at this time accumulating materials for his edition of Livy, which was published at Oxford in 1708. With regard to the state of public affairs when the Diary opens, the reader need only be reminded that the great victory of Blenheim in the previous year had consolidated the Whig party; that a General Election took place in the spring of 1705, and that, when the new Parliament met, the Whigs found them selves in possession of a working majority.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of fragments of the author's annotations and reflections on people and events that he observed or experienced between 1705 and 1707. The author was an Oxford University employee, and as such, his writings provide a unique glimpse into the Oxford academic world and the early 18th century British social and political landscape. The author often mentions well-known figures of the day, including scholars, politicians, and religious figures, and his observations on their actions and ideas provide an excellent resource for historians interested in this period. The author's insights are often cutting and witty, and reveal much about the social and political divisions within Britain at the time, which were largely shaped by debates over the Act of Toleration and the Act of Union. This book will be of great interest to scholars of 18th century British history, politics, and religion. It also contains a wealth of information for scholars interested in the history of the University of Oxford, and will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the life and work of Thomas Hearne.
