Edmund Burke

Reflections on the Revolution in France

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting a scathing attack on the French revolution's attitudes to existing institutions, property and religion, this work makes a cogent case for upholding inherited rights and established customs. It argues for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change, and deplores the influence the revolution might have in Britain.
