		In 1712 he was created Viscount Bolingbroke, and by the influence of Abigail Masham, Queen Anne's favorite, he gradually rose to become the leading figure in the government.
		Bolingbroke's true intent is not known, but it is sure that, in anticipation of the succession of a pro-Whig Hanoverian to the throne, he negotiated with James Francis Stuart, the Old Pretender, and began replacing Whig officers, especially in the army, with Tories.
		In France, Bolingbroke helped plan the uprising of the Jacobites in 1715, but in 1716 he was dismissed from the service of the Old Pretender on suspicion of having given secret Jacobite plans to the English government.

		When Viscount Bolingbroke's works were published posthumously in 1754, and even when, six years previously, David Hume's "Essay on the Human Understanding" was given to the public, little stir was caused.
		Bolingbroke's attacks upon revealed religion, aimed from the standpoint of a sensationalistic theory of knowledge, were, as a recent writer puts it, "insufferably wearisome"; nor could all his cynicism and satire, any more than the scepticism of the Scottish philosopher, renew general interest in a controversy that was practically dead.
		They are ponderously cynical in style and generally dull and uninteresting, Containing arguments against the truth and value of Scriptural history, and asserting that Christianity is a system footed upon the unlettered by the cunning of the clergy to further their own ends.

		One of the first actions of the Whig ministers was to attack the authors of the treaty of Utrecht and Bolingbroke fled in disguise to France.
		Yet the extraordinary political ability and audacity of mind which rendered him the greatest young man of his age, coupled with his brilliance as an orator and a stylist which won the praise of Pitt and Chesterfield, lend an irresistible fascination to his personality by removing it so far above the commonplace.

		As a leader of the anti-Walpole Whigs, he joined the 1st Viscount Bolingbroke in trying to form a united party of opposition and in publishing a political newspaper, The Craftsman (1726–36).
		Pulteney's journalism and brilliant parliamentary speeches encouraged the Whig and Tory factions that were opposed to Walpole to form an alliance, and he was considered in large part responsible for Walpole's inability to enact a wine and tobacco excise bill in 1733.
		When Walpole fell from power in 1742, Pulteney declined two requests by King George II to form a government, accepting instead the first lordship of the treasury in the 1st Earl of Wilmington's ministry (1742–43) and the earldom of Bath, thus alienating many of his supporters.
