The Writings and Speeches of Edmund BurkeCosimo, Inc., 2008 M01 1 - 472 páginas 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.

Burke's speeches and writings influenced the great thinkers of his day, including America's Founding Fathers.
