About this book

Disputes over the crown, religion and public money fill this second volume of Tobias Smollett's history. Its subjects span the reigns of William and Mary, Anne, George I and George II. The opening contents range from religious toleration and the settlement of revenue to campaigns in Ireland, conflict with France and the establishment of the Bank of England. Parliamentary arguments share space with changes of ministers, treaties and naval affairs, giving readers a detailed account of government under pressure.

A later passage follows Prince Charles towards Scotland, where he gathers supporters and challenges the government. Damage to a convoy ship, uncertainty among potential allies and delays in the official response all affect the undertaking. Smollett comments directly on these decisions and their possible consequences.
