This 12-volume set contains the complete life works of EDMUND BURKE (1729-1797), Irish political writer and statesman. Educated at a Quaker boarding school and at Trinity College in Dublin, Burke's eloquence gained him a high position in Britain's Whig party, and he was active in public life. He supported limitations on the power of the monarch and believed that the British people should have a greater say in their government.

Speeches on the Arrival at Bristol and at the Conclusion of the Poll . Speech on Moving Resolutions for Conciliation with America . Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol, On the Affairs of America .
