4 记录18世纪英国王室权力的作品在根本上还很薄弱，而现存的那些有时也只提供了静态的画面，以法律文书和宗教宣传为基础，描述了君主政体应该如何运作，而不是随着时间的推移，它实际上如何运作。以下两个叙述避免了这样的错误，B. W. Hill, “Executive Monarchy and the Challenge of Parties, 1689—1832: Two Concepts of Government and Two Historiographical Interpretations”， Historical Journal 13 (1970); and Richard Pares, King George the Third and the Politicians (1953)。
