Burke's Letters On A Regicide Peace (1893) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781165968770)

Burke's Letters On A Regicide Peace is a collection of letters written by Edmund Burke, an Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher, in 1795. The book is a response to the peace negotiations between Britain and France during the French Revolution, which Burke believed would result in a ""regicide peace"" ������� a peace treaty with a government that had executed its own king.The letters are written in Burke's characteristic style, which is both eloquent and passionate. He argues that Britain should not negotiate with the French government because it is illegitimate and immoral. He also warns that a peace treaty with France would only embolden other revolutionary movements in Europe and threaten the stability of the continent.Burke's Letters On A Regicide Peace is considered one of his most important works, and it is still studied today for its insights into the politics and philosophy of the late 18th century. The book is also notable for its influence on conservative thought, particularly in the United States, where Burke's ideas about the importance of tradition and the dangers of radical change have been embraced by many conservative thinkers.With Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
