Sir Richard Cocks, a Gloucestershire country gentleman, was a new
and enthusiastic member of the Parliament which began in 1698. His
diary is the only substantial parliamentary diary yet to have been
discovered between Narcissus Luttrell and Anchitell Grey's reports
of debates in the early 1690s and Sir Edward Knatchbull's in the
1720s. It covers the four parliamentary sessions of 1698-1702, in
which vital questions of state were decided and significant
developments took place in the evolution of English party politics.
Cocks showed keen appreciation of the drama and significance of the
events of which he was a witness and his diary offers a unique
insight into events in the Commons. Unlike other diarists, he also
showed a keen interest in the details of parliamentary procedure.
This important journal, previously unpublished, has now been
meticulously edited by D. W. Hayton. Fully annotated, with a
detailed introduction and appendices, it is a major source for the
political and parliamentary history of the period.
