Excerpt from Remarks and Collections of Thomas Hearne, Vol. 1: Suum Ruique, July 4, 1705 March 19, 1707
Hearne was at this time accumulating materials for his edition of Livy, which was published at Oxford in 1708. With regard to the state of public affairs when the Diary opens, the reader need only be reminded that the great victory of Blenheim in the previous year had consolidated the Whig party; that a General Election took place in the spring of 1705, and that, when the new Parliament met, the Whigs found them selves in possession of a working majority.
