		Prime minister of GB Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (26 August 1676 – 18 March 1745), normally known as Sir Robert Walpole, (1725–42) is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.
		His administrative skills having been noticed, Walpole was promoted by Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin (the Lord High Treasurer and leader of the Cabinet) to the position of Secretary at War in 1708; for a short period of time in 1710, he also simultaneously held the post of Treasurer of the Navy.
		Robert Walpole became a Privy Counsellor and rose to the position of Paymaster of the Forces in a Cabinet nominally led by Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax, but actually dominated by Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend (Walpole's brother-in-law) and James Stanhope.

	Creating a Great Museum: Early Collectors and The British Museum
		Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (1571-1631) was a voracious collector whose collection, now in the British Library, includes such gems as the manuscript of Beowulf--the earliest manuscript epic poem in the English language, with which generations of English Literature students have battled, the Lindisfarne Gospels, and two copies of Magna Carta.
		In this instance Edward Harley inherited the collecting passion, beginning his collecting career with excessive book bills at college and going on to dispose of most of his wife's fortune of £500,000--which, if you think of inflation since then, was quite a considerable feat.
		The scale of the Harleys' collecting careers can be judged by the final record: antiquities, coins, medals and portraits, together with 50,000 printed books, 41,000 prints and some 350,000 pamphlets were auctioned off.
