An historical account of the advantages to have accrued to England by the succession in the illustrious house of Hanover, [ca. 1722].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702175409

Contemporary manuscript copy in a single hand, of a historical account of the Hanoverian succession of the English throne from the Act of Settlement in 1701 through the deaths of King William III, Queen Anne, and the Electress Sophia, and the reign of King George I. Earbery accuses the Hanoverians of serving their own interests abroad rather than the interests of the English people, and concludes: "If the Hanoverian ministry shall think themselves injured by anything mentioned in these, as well as the foregoing Papers, the Author doth not doubt, but he shall be able to make out the truth of what he hath here asserted, appear before a free Parliamt. entirely to the satisfaction of his countrymen, provided the Hanoverians will not send to assassinate him, as they did a gentleman in the late reign that made the like offer."

2 parts (30 and 34 p. in 1 v.) ; 19 x 16 cm.

George I was the first Hanover king of England, claiming the throne through his mother, Sophia, great granddaughter of King James I. His succession was orchestrated to ensure a Protestant ruler. He became king upon the death of Queen Anne in 1714, and he ruled until 1727, a somewhat unpopular and rather unremarkable reign.
