The Rise of the Pelhams (1957) looks at the important period between the fall of Walpole and the appointment of Henry Pelham as First Lord of the Treasury, and the ensuing Pelhamite administration – its establishment, peak and fall and its aftermath. Particular attention is paid to the rank and file of the House of Commons, regular MPs being often overlooked in historical analyses – but being men who could make or break a ministry.
