An Answer to the Latter Part of Lord Bolingbroke's Letters on the Study of History. By the late Lord Walpole of Woolterton. In a Series of Letters to a Noble Lord.
In this posthumous work Lord Walpole (1678-1757), the brother of Sir Robert and uncle of Horace, attacks Bolingbroke's account of the last four years of the Queen, years when Bolingbroke was a leading figure in the Tory administration and Walpole a young Member of Parliament in opposition. Bolingbroke's Study of History was also posthumous, written in the 1730s but for political reasons was left unpublished until 1752.
