Book Description
Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke, was one of the most creative political thinkers in eighteenth-century Britain. In this volume, modernised and fully annotated texts of his most important political works, the Dissertation upon Parties, the letter, 'On the Spirit of Patriotism', and The Idea of the Patriot King, are brought together for the first time. Bolingbroke was the first major thinker to face the long-term economic and political consequences of the Glorious Revolution, particularly the creation of the first modern system of party politics. In these works he attempted to forge an ideology of opposition to attack the Whig oligarchy of Sir Robert Walpole. His analyses of constitutional government and the party system are still relevant to the dilemmas of modern democratic politics, as are his recommendations for a patriotic commitment to the common good and the necessity of a non-partisan executive.

Book Description
In turn, Tory minister, Jacobite renegade, English philosopher and anti-minister, Bolingbroke has elicited mixed reactions from his compatriots, both contempories and historians. Bernard Cottret discusses here his political writings in the context of contemporary thought in England and France. His analyses of 'A' Dissertation upon Parties' and 'The Idea of a Patriot King' are supported by a full mid-eighteenth-century political thought.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Bolingbroke: Being Extracts From the Political Writings of Henry St. John Viscount Bolingbroke A few biographical details regarding the author of the following extracts may not be considered out of place in this little volume. Henry St. John, afterwards Viscount Bolingbroke, was born at Battersea in the month of October, 1678. He was of an ancient, and, in some respects, an illustrious family. His mother was Lady Mary, second daughter and joint heiress of Robert Rich, Earl of Warwick. His father possessed no title to fame, but some to notoriety, inasmuch as he treacherously killed Sir William Estcourt in a duel - a crime for which he was sentenced to be hanged, but subsequently procured a pardon. Young St. John was sent to Eton to be educated, and from thence, in due course, he was removed to Oxford. Both his school and his college days would appear to have been spent in a manner, excusable perhaps in youth and indiscretion, but not conducive to good report. From Christ Church, St. John removed to London, and in 1697 he left England in order to go the "grand tour." "The years 1698 and 1699," says Mr. Macknight, one of his biographers, "were spent by St. John in wandering through France and Italy.
