Description
This study of British politics from 1760 to 1832 deals with the reasons why people went into politics, the functions of party and patronage and the balance of power between King, Lords and Commons. George III is the central figure of the work and the author discusses the King's conception of his mission and his struggles with "that hydra faction".Tags

Sympathetic account stressing George's idealism. I grant his intentions may have been good, but I am more doubtful of the consequences.
