These are Professor Plumbâs Ford Lectures a t Oxford. Plumb seeks to explain how, after a civil war and a glorious revolution, England achieved political stability. He finds the reasons for this in the growth of a parliamentary electorate, of an oligarchy and of the executive. But his chief reason is that stability came through the creation of a one-party system in which Sir Robert Walpoleâs Whigs eliminated the Tory party as a serious political force largely because it could be identified with Jacobitism and therefore with treason. Plumb is the heir to Namierâs techniques in making his analysis, but he is much more sensitive t o ideas and to religion than was Namier. He has produced a n original and well-rounded book in very readable prose. HISTORICAL TABLES 58BC-AD 261. $1.90. millan, 1966. Pp.x 1965. By S. H. Steinberg.
