London Politics, 1713-1717: Minutes of a Whig Club, 1714-1717
Edited by H HOROWITZ
London Pollbooks, 1713
Edited by W A SPECK and W A GRAY
These are the minutes of a Whig political club operating in the City of London during the last months of Queen Anne’s reign and the early years of King George I’s. Their chief usefulness is in furthering an understanding of the complex political history of the City; in addition, the club’s linkage with the ministry and the continuing strength of the Tories within the City also cast light on the national political scene. A list of those who voted for either set of candidates in the general election of 1713 for London is printed with the minutes.
