Resumen de Party affiliation in the House of Lords in 1710: a contemporary assessment

Clyve Jones

• A copy of a printed list of members of both the house of lords and the house of commons published in 1708 has been annotated with manuscript markings of the party affiliations of the members, probably dating from 1710. This note looks at the this contemporary assessment of the affiliations of the peers and bishops in the Lords and compares it with the party affiliations published by Geoffrey Holmes, mainly in his seminal work, British Politics in the Age of Anne.
