Book Description
The great British statesman Edmund Burke had a genius for political argument, and his impassioned speeches and writings shaped English public life in the second half of the eighteenth century. This anthology of Burke's speeches, letters, and pamphlets, selected, introduced, and annotated by David Bromwich, shows Burke to be concerned with not only preserving but also reforming the British empire. Bromwich includes eighteen works of Burke, all but one in its complete form. These writings, among them the "Speech on Conciliation with the American Colonies," A Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol, the "Speech at Guildhall Previous to the Election" of 1780, the "Speech on Fox's India Bill," A Letter to a Noble Lord, and several private letters, demonstrate the depth of Burke's efforts to reform the empire in India, America, and Ireland. On these various fronts he defended the human rights of native peoples, the respect owed to partners in trade, and the civil liberties that the empire was losing at home while extending its power abroad.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters to the Right Honourable Edmund Burke: Occasioned by His Reflections on the Revolution Lp The Preface. Of the numerous readers, and anfvverers, of Mr. Burkes long expected Reflections on the Revolution in France, the attention of the greater part will be chiefly drawn to thofe pafTages which more immediately relate to the civil confiituticn of that kingdom. Thefe I have not neglected. But, what I have more particularly replied to, is what he has advanced on civil eftablijhments of religion, which makes no fmall figure in his performance, and which appears to be a fubject not generally underflood. It is with very fenfible regret that I find Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
