Summary: "Walpole and Chatham (1714-1760)" by Esdaile, Bell, and Winbolt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on significant political events and personalities in England during the early to mid-18th century, particularly the roles of figures like Sir Robert Walpole and William Pitt. It likely examines the complex interplay of power, political factions, and public sentiment during a transformative era in British history.
