  • There is much evidence for the parliamentary organisation of the whig junto in Queen Anne's reign, but little for its extra-parliamentary organisation. This note gives evidence for such extra-parliamentary organisation late in the reign of William III from letters by both James Vernon and Robert Harley, which describe meetings of the junto and some of its supporters in the country houses of followers in the summers of 1698, 1699 and 1700.
