The Canningite Party”

It is well known that between 1801 and 1809 the Tory Party broke up into several groups led by Addington, Grenville, Wellesley, Perceval, and Canning, which were divided partly by personal, partly by political differences; and that the two-party system was temporarily superseded by the group system. Much new information concerning the smallest but the most distinguished of these various connexions is to be found in the Huskisson, Liverpool, Granville, Harrowby, Harewood, and other papers in public or private hands, which have recently been made accessible to the historian
