_Bellcampo, Lord of the Isles_ (p. 19) is Archibald Campbell, first and only Earl of Islay (pronounced "Isle-ah") and brother and heir of the second Duke of Argyll (1682-1761); _One of the Ministers_ (p. 22) is Thomas Miller of Kirkliston; _John ----, his Majesty's Hangman_ (p. 22) is John White; _Bradalbino_ (p. 24) is John Campbell, first Earl of Breadalbane (1635-1716); _Leslynus_ (p. 24) is David Leslie, third Earl of Leven (1660-1728); _One of the family of Boiilio_ (p. 24) is David Boyle, first Earl of Glasgow (1666-1733); _The Prince de Rosymonte_ (p. 34) is James Graham, fourth Marquis and first Duke of Montrose (d. 1742). The fact that, in several cases, the names used by Defoe are developed from family names and not the title seems to offer support for the contention that _Atalantis Major_ was intended primarily for a Scottish audience. Further, Defoe's name for Marlborough--_Heymuthius_--comes from his one Scottish title, Baron Aymouth (now Eyemouth, a fishing town on the southeast coast of Scotland), and not from his better-known English title, the Duke of Marlborough.

These are Trevelyan's figures (_op. cit._, 73). W. A. Speck (_Tory and Whig_ [London: Macmillan, 1970], p. 123) gives the Tories 332 seats and 181 seats to the Whigs in this election. 3. In point of fact, Harley's concern for the loyalty of the representative peers is unique in the history of these elections. In subsequent Parliaments, the Scottish peers seldom, if ever, voted against the Government--even at the trial of Lord Lovat in 1745-6. For one thing, almost without exception, the representative peers were dependent on governmental subsidies and this dependence increased during the course of the eighteenth century (see J. H. Plumb, _The Growth of Political Stability in England_ [London: Penguin, 1973], p. 180; and Geoffrey Holmes, _British Politics in the Age of Anne_ [London: Macmillan, 1967], p. 393). The practice of electing a representative peerage for Scotland was discontinued after 1782 (see Trevelyan, _op. cit._, 235). 4. Trevelyan, _op. cit._, 58. 5. James R.
