Though George I did little for England except keep the "Pretender"
(S535) from the throne by occupying it himself, yet that was no small
advantage, since it gave the country peace. The establishment of
Cabinet Government under Sir Robert Walpole as the first Prime
Minister, the suppression of the Jacobite insurrection, the disastrous
collapse of the South Sea Bubble, and the introduction of vaccination
are the principle events.
