Reviews

'This authoritative edition gives insights into a range of contemporary events and preoccupations: colonization, religious controversy, communication and transport networks, the publishing trade and relations between authors and printers, the operation of eighteenth-century spymasters and methods of political fact-finding. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of the period, not least the Union with Scotland and the Hanoverian Succession.' Margarette Lincoln, Times Literary Supplement 'Nicholas Seager's outstanding and painstaking scholarship has created an edition that deserves to be the standard by which we measure for at least the next 50 years.' Kit Kincade, NPEC Reviews '… this edition is a truly splendid literary and literary-critical trove … Hard to imagine it being outdone or superseded. Plainly, as Defoe might say, final words.' Valentine Cunningham, The Glass
