Sir Robert Walpole [PDF ebook] 
A Political Biography, 1676-1745

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Important in the history of Walpole appears to me at this distance of time of little value, whilst various incidents in the career of the great statesman well worthy of mention are, if not altogether omitted, only slightly alluded to. It will also be seen that my views of the character of Walpole, and of the motives which influenced his ambition, differ considerably from those of Archdeacon Coxe.
