Description:This book deals with the working of the eighteenth century parliamentary system during the last crisis of the American War of Independence, from the 'false dawn' of the recovery of South Carolina until the final extinction of British hopes at Yorktown.By mid-1779 the North administration had managed to survive the shock of Saratoga and the successive declarations of war by France and Spain. How secure was it in the support of Parliament during the last two chequered years of its existence? By what process was its position undermined after Yorktown? These are the two chief questions to which answered have been sought in this study, which begins with a discussion of the ministry's attempt to strengthen its parliamentary position by the general election of 1780 and concludes with the resignation of Lord North in March, 1782. It also takes into consideration the character of parliamentary elections and the nature and strengths of groups and parties in the House of Commons at this period of intense political stress. The work is based upon a detailed study of the biographies of the five hundred and eighty or so members who sat in the House during these two years.The author is a Lecturer in Modern History at University College, London, and a contributor to the History of Parliament.This volume is the second to be published in the series, England in the Age of the American Revolution, edited by Sir Lewis Namier.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
