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.
In general, Burke spoke out against the persecutions perpetuated by the British Empire on its colonies, including America, Ireland, and India. Burke's speeches and writings influenced the great thinkers of his day, including America's Founding Fathers.
In Volume II, readers will find:
. "Speech on American Taxation"
. "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"
. "Two Letters to Gentlemen of Bristol, On the Bills Depending in Parliament Relative to the Trade of Ireland"
. "Speech on Presenting to the House of Commons a Plan for the Better Security of the Independence of Parliament, and the Economical Reformation of the Civil and Other Establishments"
. "Speech at Bristol Previous to the Election, September 6, 1780"
. "Speech at Bristol on Declining the Poll, September 9, 1780"
. "Speech of Mr. Fox's East India Bill"
