Description
La 4e de couverture indique : "This general description of British politics in the reign of George III 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 its central figure, and the author discusses the king's conception of his mission and his struggles with 'that hydra faction'. The appointment and dismissal of ministries and the king's relations with the cabinet are discussed in detail. The book ends with some suggestions about the termination of the conflict and the development of a new order of things."
