Synopsis

This book powerfully expounds on the era of political instability in Great Britain after the Treaty of Utrecht. The author excoriates Whig party conduct while attempting to justify the Tory party's political and military strategy. The author discusses the nuances of the Act of Settlement and Act of Union, terms of the peace, and Whig strategy in Parliament. This book not only presents an in-depth analysis of early 18th century British politics, but also illuminates the Whig party's influence on the formation of Britain's political identity and its empire.
