The uncritical assumption of nineteenth-century historians that the party system as they knew it in their own time was directly prefigured in the politics of the Restoration, should not be allowed to blind us to the most significant development in parliamentary history during this period. Factions and groupings had always existed, but these were by their very nature temporary and partial. Sir Richard Temple named three such groups in the Commons in 1668, the Clarendonians, the anti-Clarendonians, and the Presbyterians.
