Published in 1968: While giving a lucid account of the functions
and difficulties of the office of Principal Secretary, the author
shows clearly how the retention of this position was a
characteristic example of the English habit of clinging to old
forms in political matters long after these forms have ceased to
bear any relationship to reality. Originally a clerk in the King's
private household and writer of his letters, by the end of the
seventeenth century the position had become a political office,
second only in importance to that of Lord High Treasurer.
