Burke: Thoughts On the Present Discontents. the Two Speeches On America. New; Edition 1883 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781142214265)

This 1883 edition presents a collection of Edmund Burke's most influential writings, including "Thoughts On the Present Discontents" and "Two Speeches On America." Burke, a prominent figure in 18th-century British politics and a staunch advocate for conservatism, offers profound insights into the nature of governance, the dangers of radical change, and the importance of tradition. His reflections on the political climate of his time, particularly his analysis of the growing discontent within Britain and his perspective on the unfolding events in America, remain remarkably relevant to contemporary political discourse.

Burke's eloquent prose and astute observations make this volume a valuable resource for students of political theory, history, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of modern conservative thought. This edition offers a window into the mind of a brilliant statesman grappling with the critical issues of his era, providing enduring lessons for navigating the complexities of political life.
