Power, principle, and political intrigue converge in the writings of Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke, one of the most compelling voices of 18th century British politics.

For political science students, general readers of history and statesmanship, and anyone drawn to Georgian era political history, this Bolingbroke collected works volume opens a vivid window onto eighteenth century political essays shaped in the heat of office and opposition.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
