8th of 16 volumes, "the new edition" by Rivington, London, printed 1826
The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke is a collected edition of the writings and speeches of Edmund Burke (1729–1797), an influential British statesman, political thinker, and writer known for his support of constitutional limitations on government, opposition to the French Revolution, and contributions to conservative thought.
This is Burke’s most celebrated and enduring work, written as an open letter to a young Frenchman, Charles-Jean-François Depont, who had asked Burke for his opinion on the early events of the French Revolution.
This volume represents a turning point in Burke’s career—from Whig reformer to staunch defender of tradition and order. It captures the full force of his moral philosophy, historical awareness, and rhetorical mastery.
The Reflections is not just a political document—it is a work of literature, philosophy, and prophecy that continues to resonate in debates over revolution, reform, and the nature of freedom.
