This article examines the British government's domestic policies during the last two months of 1792, when the arrival of domestic popular radicalism and the success of the French army against opposing Austro-Prussian forces in the Low Countries suggested that Britain and other neighbouring states of France would follow it into revolution. Based on official and private papers, it is claimed that the decisions of the Younger Pitt's ministry vis-à-vis war and revolution were not determined by simple panic or ‘tory’ intellectual and social considerations, but rather by long-established patterns of eighteenth-century official action and the strength of traditional ‘whig’ convictions
