Excerpt from English Political Parties and Leaders in the Reign of Queen Anne 1702-1710For the most part, the older histories of this period have been written largely from the pages of Boyer, Burnet, and the Parliamentary History, with occasional references to available manuscript material. In this monograph additional manuscripts and source materials have been studied in the archives in England and Hol land, besides numerous pamphlets and periodicals, and the invaluable reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission.In a sense this is an attempt to rewrite the history of the first eight years of Anne's reign in the light of the new evidence that has become available in the last thirty years. In places the author has dared to differ from the usual estimates of some of the leading characters of the period. This has necessitated a frequent citation of authorities, for which he craves the reader's indulgence. The controversial nature of a part of his work has also caused him to quote more freely from contemporary sources than would otherwise have been the case.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
