This book's rehabilitation of Brydges and its neo-Namierite analysis of the arrangements for financing eighteenth-century warfare is valuable insofar as it counters the continuing tendency among historians to apply anachronistic models of bureaucracy and corruption. David Lemmings, American Historical Review
