About
Thoughts on the Present Discontents, and Speeches, etc. by Edmund Burke. Edited by Henry Morley
A collection of speeches and writings on a variety of political topics, starting with an alleged conspiracy among the ministers of the crown and proceeding to various issues with the Parliament. Burke displays, as usual, his mixture of keen insight into human hearts, minds, and affairs with his pragmatism and his Conservative-streaked Liberalism. For a variety of reasons, the reader will not be disappointed reading these works, even if, in a few places, they get wordy and focused on some details no longer relevant today.
