A Letter from Edmund Burke
Author: Edmund Burke
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
A letter from Edmund Burke By Edmund Burke Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religion in moral life.[6][page needed] These views were expressed in his A Vindication of Natural Society. Burke criticized British treatment of the American colonies, including through its taxation policies. He also supported the rights of the colonists to resist metropolitan authority, though he opposed the attempt to achieve independence. Burke is remembered for his support for Catholic emancipation, the impeachment of Warren Hastings from the East India Company and for his staunch opposition to the French Revolution. In his Reflections on the Revolution in France, Burke asserted that the revolution was destroying the fabric of good society, traditional institutions of state and society and condemned the persecution of the Catholic Church that resulted from it. This led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig Party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs," as opposed to the pro-French Revolution "New Whigs," led by Charles James Fox.[7] We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.
