| Summary | "London in the Jacobite Times, Volume I" by Dr. Doran is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the political and social intricacies of London during the Jacobite movement, particularly surrounding the rise of George I and the fallout from Queen Anne's death. It covers various events, notable figures, and the tensions between Jacobites and Hanoverians during a tumultuous period in British history. The beginning of the book introduces the reader to the complexities of London life as it grapples with the aftermath of Queen Anne's death in 1714. It highlights significant encounters between prominent figures such as the controversial clergyman Bradbury and Bishop Burnet, as they reflect on the state of society and the looming threats from both Jacobites and supporters of the new king. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of political maneuvering, public sentiment, and cultural responses, illustrating the divided loyalties in London through lively descriptions of street demonstrations, parliamentary debates, and social gatherings, ultimately setting the stage for the conflict and intrigue that characterize this historic period.
