NO remainder marks. [From jacket flaps] Henry St John, later Viscount Bolingbroke, grew up in colourful Restoration England. Before he had reached his majority he saw the ignominious flight of James II, but the licentious example set by the late Merry Monarch suited young Henry far better than the staid manners of William of Orange's court. Like his father before him, he soon earned a reputation for riotous loose living among the fashionable young bloods of the day. Yet a brilliant career was ahead of the youthful Henry St John. In his early twenties he joined the Tory party, and soon became as notorious in Parliament for the violence of his public partisanship as he was for the excesses of his private life. Clever, ambitious, a free-thinker and a born orator, before long he was deeply embroiled in the political and international turmoil. Appointed Secretary at War at the age of twenty-five, he saw the great Marlborough's victories in the War of the Spanish Succession, and six years later rose to be Secretary of State. This was the zenith of his career. In the next four years he was the chief instrument in negotiating the Treaty of Utrecht which was to give peace (Continued from front flap] to Europe for nearly half a century. This was to be his main contribution to history and his lasting monument. But from that time onwards Bolingbroke's fortunes, as well as his behaviour, deteriorated. On the death of Queen Anne his Jacobite sympathies came to light, England became too hot to hold him, and he fled to the Pretender's court at St Germains. But now Bolingbroke's chief object in life was to get himself back into power. Finding insufficient scope for his ambitions at St Germains he returned to London, and tried unsuccessfully to ingratiate himself with the Whigs. Thus the man whose early promise had been so great and whose achievements had been so outstanding in middle age, spent his declining years in vain personal scheming and backstairs intrigue. He died painfully in 1751, a disillusioned man.
