Summary
Manuscript, in Walpole's hand, which discusses his views on religion and explains his aversion to Papists; argues that the tendency of governments has been to universal monarchy; and proposes to lay open the circumstances, views, and politics in Europe that made way for the war with Spain, and then later France. He reviews the political and personal machinations of British monarchs and governmental figures from Charles I to George I, focusing particularly on the reign of Queen Anne; and includes comments on the controversies between Roman Catholics and Protestants and the Jacobite rebellions during this time.
