1791 FAMOUS Edmund Burke Reflections on French Revolution Politics Dublin ed



“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”

― Edmund Burke



Edmund Burke was an 18th-century Irish politician whose orations and speeches to Parliament made a lasting impact on political theory and major events such as the French Revolution. He frequently spoke out against public torture and condemnation for criminals, protested trade laws and commerce restriction. It was his frustration and anger with the government that prompted ‘Reflections’. (PMM)



The ‘Printing and the Mind of Man’ gives an extensive description of Burke and this work, noting the success that this work achieved, even though it cost Burke his loyal allegiances with the Whig party.



Note on edition: According to Todd,

“Though designated 'eighth edition' both this and the earlier Dublin issues are of 356 pages, and thus of a version deriving ultimately from some printing (a-e) before the third London edition.”
