The Writings and Speeches of Edmund BurkeCosimo, Inc., 2008 M01 1 - 508 páginas This 12-volume set contains the complete life works of EDMUND BURKE (1729-1797), Irish political writer and statesman. Educated at a Quaker boarding school and at Trinity College in Dublin, Burke's eloquence gained him a high position in Britain's Whig party, and he was active in public life.

"Letter in Answer to Some Objections to His Book on French Affairs" . "Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs" . "Letter to a Peer of Ireland on the Penal Laws Against Irish Catholics" . "Letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe, On the Subject of the Roman Catholics of Ireland" . "Hunts for a Memorial to be Delivered to Monsieur De M.M." . "Thoughts on French Affairs" . "Heads for Consideration on the Present State of Affairs" . "Remarks on the Policy of the Allies With Respect to France" |
