"I think the fortuitous influence of chance so much more decisive of the success or miscarriage of statesmen's schemes, than the skill or dexterity of the most able and most artful of them, that I am apt to attribute much less to the one, and much more to the other, than the generality of historians, either from prejudice to their heroes or partiality to their own conjectures, are willing to allow." -- Lord John Hervey.

Closing Up Shop
For a number of reasons I am slowly closing down this blog by shifting its contents to my new site at www.taylorstoermer.com. For longer pieces, that go beyond the sort of reflections that were posted here, and are now at my WordPress site, visit http://allthingsliberty.com/author/taylor-stoermer/, and for videos check out my C-SPAN work at http://c-spanvideo.org/taylorstoermer. For much shorter items, usually quotes and other passages that strike me as especially relevant to the 18th-century British world, please join me at http://revolutionaryatlantic.tumblr.com/. And, of course, you can always follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/History_Doctor. Cheers!
