This book provides an exceptional analysis of the tumultuous period in English history, focusing on the life and times of William, the first Duke of Queensberry. Exploring personal letters and other documents from both the Duke and his son, this book offers an unparalleled perspective on the complex political landscape of the late 17th century. An in-depth examination of the Duke's beliefs and motivations highlights his commitment to justice and his frustration with the oppressive measures of the government, leading to his dismissal from public service.
