This is the most comprehensive anthology of works and speeches by the statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke (1729-1797). Peter J. Stanlis, professor of humanities emeritus at Rockford College, has taken care to preserve the beauty of Burke's prose while selecting the most essential passages from his numerous writings. Included are: * Burke's defense of the American colonists * His advocacy of secure property rights * His love of Christianity and Europe's moral tradition * His impassioned jeremiad against the destruction wrought by the French Revolution Stanlis's introduction gives important insight into Burke's early life, education, professional training, literary and political career, prose style, political philosophy, and more.
