The history of England, from the accession of George III. to the close of Pitt's first administration, 1760-1801

"The Political History of England" edited by William Hunt and Reginald L. Poole, is a detailed exploration of British political events from when George III became king in 1760 to the end of Pitt's first time as Prime Minister. The book aims to provide a clear story of England's political past, using new understandings and different points of view to correct old mistakes. It starts by talking about how people felt when George III took the throne and describes his wish to rule without the Whig party telling him what to do. The story also looks at important characters like John Stuart, the Earl of Bute, and the problems of British foreign policy as trouble grew with France and Spain, setting the scene for big changes and power struggles between the king and the government.
