Volume 1 contains Burke's brilliant defense of the American colonists' complaints of British policy, including "Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents" (1770), "Speech on American Taxation" (1774), and "Speech on Conciliation" (1775). Volume 2 consists of Burke's renowned Reflections on the Revolution in France. Volume 3 presents Burke's Four Letters on the Proposals for Peace with the Regicide Directory of France -- generally styled Letters on a Regicide Peace (1795-1796). The Letters, Payne believed, deserve to "rank even before Burke's] Reflections, and to be called the writer's masterpiece." Faithfully reproduced in each volume are E. J. Payne's notes and introductory essays. Francis Canavan, one of the great Burke scholars of the twentieth century, has added forewords and a biographical note on Payne. In the companion volume, Canavan has collected seven of Burke's major contributions to English political thinking on representation in Parliament, on economics, on the political oppression of the peoples of India and Ireland, and on the enslavement of African blacks. The volume concludes with a select bibliography on Edmund Burke.Select Works of Edmund BurkeGreat BritainPolitics and government18th centuryGreat BritainColoniesAmericaFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799Great BritainRelationsFrance320.9033Burke Edmund1729-1797.38256Canavan Francis1917-2009.1851705Payne Edward John1844-1904.1851706MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968023703321Thoughts on the present discontents4480215UNINA
