In 1743, Chesterfield began writing under the name of "Jeffrey Broadbottom" for pamphlets and a new journal, "Old England; or, the Constitutional Journal", which appeared with quick circulation ("broad bottom" being a term for a government with cross-party appeal). A number of pamphlets, in some of which Chesterfield had the help of Edmund Waller, followed. His energetic campaign against George II and his government won the gratitude of the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough, who left him £20,000 as a mark of her appreciation. In 1744, the King was compelled to abandon Lord Carteret, the successor to Walpole, and the coalition for a "Broad Bottom" party, led by Chesterfield and Pitt, came into office in coalition with the Pelhams.
