( The generations of Britons living through the reign of...)
The generations of Britons living through the reign of George III saw basic changes in economic and social structure: industrial revolution, agricultural revolution, demographic revolution. Romanticism displaced classicism. The religious and spiritual life of the nation changed dramatically. The rise of the mass constituency, the extension of political consensus, proved the salient new political fact. Traditional institutions and relationships were not impervious to change, but extraparliarmentary political organizations forced the pace. They reflected the interests of the community far more closely than the traditional, fragmented political factions. National extraparliamentary political organizations attempted, in parliamentary constituencies, to secure the election of members pledged to a specific program. Potential supporters were organized, after a fashion, in parliament. This is the nucleus of modern party organization, platform, and propaganda. Mr. Black examines a number of these associations—their motives, their leaders, their opponents, their means of expression and operation, their accomplishments and failures. Names such as Wilkes, Wyvill, Gordon, Jebb, and Reeves are found in cooperation with and opposition to Rockingham, Pitt, Fox, and North. Organizations such as the Associated Counties; the Protestant Association; the Society for the Commemoration of the Glorious Revolution; and the Association for the Preservation of Liberty and Property against Republicans and Levellers are represented in this narrative of eighteenth-century political history.

"Liberalism was an idealogy or state of mind that dealt in such terms as 'almost', 'the best we can', 'let us acknowledge the possibility of error' and 'seek constitutional, pragmatic answers.' This doctrine was well-suited to an age of incomplete, uneven progress, when disrupted societies were attempting to establish new identities. Even modern industrialism, a traditional guideline, while well developed in parts of Europe, proceeded unevenly through the 1870's, and not until then was there social stability (itself a relative term) comparable to the previous century. These essays are addressed to a series of important problems which any student should consider in his appraisal of post-Napoleonic Europe."
