Appeal From The New To The Old Whigs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425468040)

""Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs"" is a political pamphlet written by Edmund Burke, a prominent Irish-British statesman and philosopher, in 1791. In this work, Burke addresses the issue of the French Revolution and its impact on British politics. He argues that the so-called ""New Whigs"" who support the revolution are misguided and that the principles of the ""Old Whigs"" should be upheld. Burke criticizes the French Revolution for its violent and radical nature, which he believes will lead to chaos and destruction. He also warns that the ideas of the revolutionaries, such as equality and democracy, are dangerous and will undermine the traditional values and institutions of society. Burke's ""Appeal"" is considered a classic work of conservative political thought and has influenced many subsequent thinkers and politicians.THIS 134 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V3, by Edmund Burke.
