註釋It was as a supporter of William of Orange in the Revolution of 1688 that the subject of this biography first entered the political scene. A radical Whig by conviction but more than capable of falling out with his own party, an insider of the royal circle, he became of the of the Queen's council of nine and First Lord of the Treasury in 1689. A gifted speaker and writer, friend of Swift and Pope, he astonished friends with his energetic travels.
