First sentence: These volumes of the History contain biographies of the 1,982 Members who sat in the House of Commons between the general election of February 1690 and the dissolution of Queen Anne's last Parliament in January 1715, together with accounts of elections in all 317 constituencies (48 Scottish constituencies having been incorporated following the Act of Union in 1707), and an Introductory Survey largely (though not exclusively) based upon the information in the articles.
