Here at the House of Lords (1715-90) section of the History of Parliament, we are currently working on William Montagu, 2nd duke of Manchester, who was Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard (1737-39), so would have been very familiar with this exercise.

Eighteenth-Century Political Participation & Electoral Culture
18th-century Britain is notorious for corrupt and restrictive politics, when few could vote, bribery and debauchery were commonplace. But it was also an age when modern democracy was being shaped.
