Marsigli's Europe, 1680-1730
The War of the Austrian Succession.
Political and Constitutional Ideas of the Court Whigs
The Origin of Burke's Ideas Revisited
WHENCE CAME Edmund Burke's political and social ideas? Despite a wide range of suggested answers, the question has remained an open one. It is not a disparagement of Burke's originality to assert that he did not operate in an ideological vacuum; indeed, it would be absurd to believe that he did. All commentators have agreed that Burke drew on the thoughts of a variety of predecessors in drafting his famous statements of a Whig creed in revolution…

The Duke of Newcastle and the Imperial Election Plan, 1749-1754
To many of his contemporaries and to most of the historians who have subsequently dealt with him, Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle (1693-1768), represents unredeemed mediocrity, or even the buffoon, in power. Lord Hervey ridiculed his “egregious folly and formal absurdity”; Horace Walpole described him as “a Secretary of State without intelligence, a duke without money, a man of infinite intrigue, without secrecy or policy, and a Minister …
