"Dick Leonard's British Prime Ministers from Walpole to Salisbury surveys the lives
and careers of all the 32 Prime Ministers from Sir Robert Walpole (1721-42) to Archibald
Philip Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery (1894-95) in 32 succinct, informative and entertaining
chapters. Bringing to life the political achievements and personal idiosyncrasies
of Britain's rulers over the 18th and 19th centuries, the author recounts the circumstances
which took them to the pinnacle of British political life, probes their political
and personal strengths and weaknesses, assesses their performance in office and asks
what lasting influence they have had. Along the way Leonard entertains and informs,
revealing little-known facts about the private lives of each of the Prime Ministers
such as who was suspected to be an illegitimate half-brother of George III, who was
assassinated in the House of Commons, and who spent his evenings prowling the streets
of London , trying to 'reform' prostitutes. This book can also form part of a two-volume
set published by Routledge including the companion volume Modern British Prime Ministers
from Balfour to Johnson. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and
readers of British political history, the Executive, Government, and British Politics"
