Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life and Times of Edmund Burke, Vol. 3 The concluding portion of this Work was, like the pre ceding, originally intended for two volumes. The Author afterwards found that it might be completed in one, though the number of pages would necessarily exceed that of either of his former volumes. This course, With the assent of his excellent publishers, he has not hesi tated to adopt, as more advantageous to his readers than, on a system of bookmaking, a publication in two volumes of some four hundred pages each, of which the benefit must have been entirely his own. This cousi deration Will, he trusts, satisfactorily account for, the vo lume being somewhat more bulky than is generally de sirable. Having unavoidably too much matter for one volume, and perhaps scarcely enough for two, it would have been no difficult task to haye padded out a second With. An Appendix; but he thinks that he has chosen the less of two evils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Edmund Burke written by John Morley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edmund Burke: A Historical Study Biography, in the hands of a man of the requisite capacity and sensibility, is perhaps the very highest form of prose work. One may, I think, almost count upon one's fingers the really good biographies in English literature; but then, alas! It is not every man whose life would suffice to inspire work of this high and rare kind. The biographer, stripping his subject, as much as he can, of what is irrelevant and acci dental in the surrounding conditions, delights the reader with a fresh and impressive picture of a human character. The writer of a historical study, on the other hand, taking much lower ground, aims not at a reproduction of the central figure of his meditations, but at a criticism of his hero's relations, and contributions to the main transactions of his time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life and Times of Edmund Burke, Vol. 2 If there be one portion of Burke's political life which has more than any other been little noticed, it is that relating to foreign affairs. On this remarkable feature his biographers have been totally silent, and his most enthusiastic admirers altogether indifferent. Yet it is certainly one of his most distinguishing characteristics, and one, the absence of which must render the spirit of his latest writings almost unintelligible, and give but an imperfect idea of him as a statesman to whom nothing that affected the general interests of humanity was indifferent. Wilkes and Middlesex, the East India Company, and the American Colonies, did not exclusively occupy his attention.

Download or read book The Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke Party Parliament and the American crisis 1766 1774 written by Edmund Burke and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V. 1. Presents Burke's early literary writings up to 1765, and before he became a key political figure. It is the first fully annotated and critical edition, with comprehensive notes and an authoritative introduction. The writings published here introduce readers to Burke's early attempts at a public voice. v. 3. Continues the story of Burke, the Rockingham party of Whigs to which he adhered, and the American crisis. Burke had already established himself as a master of debate and an accomplished writer in the early 1770s; by the end of the decade he was recognized as one of the greatest parliamentarians of the age. v. 4. The fourth volume in the Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke series is also the last of the three Party and Parliament volumes, which follow Edmund Burke through from the opening of a newly elected Parliament which assembled on 31 October 1780 to his retirement from the Commons in 1794. This volume addresses Burke's views on the authority of Parliament over the British provinces in India, and his concerns about the implications of the French Revolution for British politics. He also expresses his views on issues that had always greatly interested him, such as the reform of criminal law, the confinement of debtors, and the abolition of what he regarded as outmoded economic regulations. The texts for the items, which have appeared in previous editions of Burke's Works, have been reconstructed, largely by the use of manuscripts, and many of the shorter speeches appear here in print for the first time. v. 5. A scholarly edition of the writings and speeches of Edmund Burke. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus. v. 6. Contains Burke's writings and speeches during two years in the House of Commons and the first session of the trial in the House of Lords. The volume covers the beginnings of the famous impeachment of Warren Hastins, which was to be one of Burke's major preoccupations for the rest of his life. The speeches convey Burke's vision of India and of imperial justice, as well as his moral and political thought as a whole on the eve of the French Revolution. v. 7. This key volume specifically completes the collection of Edmund Burke's Indian Writings and Speeches which is set within the series, and is both an exposition of Burke's views on India from his coverage of the Hastings trial, and his views on maintaining the rule of a universal justice. The texts for the items, which have appeared in previous editions of Burke's Works, have been reconstructed, largely by the use of manuscripts. Indeed many of the shorter speeches appear here in print for the first time. The volume includes a key speech which introduced one of the main charges in the trial of Warren Hastings on an impeachment from 1789-1794, and an important report on the conduct of the trial. It closes with Burke's important and detailed summation of the prosecution's. However, this volume is not only a full exposition of Burke's views on India but contains much of great interest about other aspects of his thought. In particular, Burke saw himself in these years as being engaged in a battle against the lawless disruption of society, both in Europe and in Asia, in order to maintain the rule of a universal justice, a main theme of this volume. v. 8. This is the first edition of Burke's famous Reflections on the Revolution in France to appear for twenty years. No edition of his other writings on the Revolution has appeared for almost a century. In these years, the background against which Burke wrote has been much studied, throwing new light on his motives for commentating on France, and the reasons why his writings were both widely read and widely rejected. Published two hundred years after the outbreak of the French Revolution, this edition shows that the issues raised by the most influential commentaries on that Revolution have yet to be resolved. v. 9. This collection of the writings and speeches of Burke include a critique of the French Revolution which expresses much of his matured thinking on political and social life and issued a call for a European crusade to save civilization; and his thoughts on Irish constitutional, economic, and religious problems and Anglo-Irish relations. -- Publisher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of the Political Life of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 1: With Extracts From His Writings Some years ago, when the feelings of the people were strongly disturbed by theories of political change, a considerable number of works were issued from the press, with the object of allaying the public excitement. Among the rest the following pages appeared. It was thought, that, in a period singularly resembling that which immediately preceded the French Revolution of 1789, there might be some advantage in laying before the public, in a more succinct and accessible form than in his volumes, the opinions of that extraordinary and powerful mind, which had acted so large a part in saving England and her monarchy from the errors of the French throne, and the crimes of the Republic.
