Description
The Rockingham Connection and the Second Founding of the Whig Party is a study of the ideological development of the Rockingham Whigs in Britain between 1768 and 1773 and a re-examination of the party system in the later part of the eighteenth century. W.M. Elofson traces the evolution of the Rockingham Whigs from court-centred supporters of the status quo to proponents of parliamentary reform and illustrates the central role the Party played in the evolution of liberal philosophy that preceded the massive reform movement in the next century.
