Edmund Burke: A Historical Study is a comprehensive biography of the famous 18th-century British statesman and philosopher, Edmund Burke. Written by John Morley and first published in 1867, the book explores Burke's life, ideas, and political career in great detail. The book begins by providing a thorough overview of Burke's early life, including his upbringing in Dublin, his education at Trinity College, and his early years as a lawyer and writer. Morley then delves into Burke's political career, tracing his rise to prominence as a member of parliament and his role in shaping British politics during the tumultuous years of the American and French Revolutions. Throughout the book, Morley explores Burke's ideas on a wide range of topics, including economics, religion, and the nature of government. He also examines Burke's relationships with other notable figures of his time, such as Samuel Johnson, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Overall, Edmund Burke: A Historical Study is a fascinating and in-depth look at one of the most important political and philosophical thinkers of the 18th century. It provides valuable insights into Burke's life, ideas, and legacy, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of British politics and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
