The book emerges as a comprehensive effort to synthesize the advancements made in historical study during the preceding decades, making use of recent research, corrections of previous errors, and the inclusion of diverse perspectives. At the start of this volume, the narrative introduces George III, highlighting his accession to the throne in 1760 and the general satisfaction it brought to the English populace. The author discusses the king's personal traits and upbringing, as well as his early political aspirations, which included a desire to govern independently from the dominant Whig party.
