This is an account of the seminal events of the Great Yorkshire Election of 1807. It was the biggest election ever undertaken in Britain before the democratic era, a fiercely contested battle between William Wilberforce, Henry Lascelles and Viscount Milton. It was also the most expensive, comparable only with modern US Congressional elections.
