8th of 16 volumes, "the new edition" by Rivington, London, published 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.

Volume 8 continues Edmund Burke’s detailed prosecution speeches in the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, particularly focusing on specific charges related to British misconduct in India. This volume forms part of a multi-volume sequence (Volumes 6–10) dedicated to Burke’s case against imperial corruption, especially as it related to the East India Company’s rule in Bengal and surrounding territories.

While Volume 5 introduced the trial and began the major charges, Volume 8 delves deeper into Burke’s systematic critique of how British power was exercised in colonial India, combining legal argumentation, moral condemnation, and historical analysis.
