Edmund Burke, página 2 de 4

Burke was one of the greatest political thinkers whom England has produced, and all his writings, like his speeches, are characterised by the welding together of knowledge, thought, and feeling. Unlike most orators he is more successful as a writer than as a speaker. He rose too far above the heads of his audience, which the continued splendour of his declamation, his inordinate copiousness, and his excessive vehemence, often passing into fury, at length wearied, and even disgusted: but in his writings are found some of the grandest examples of a fervid and richly elaborated eloquence. Though he was never admitted to the Cabinet, he guided and influenced largely the policy of his party, while by his efforts in the direction of economy and order in administration at home, and on behalf of kindly and just government in India, as well as by his contributions to political philosophy, he laid his country and indeed the world under lasting obligations. This is volume six out of twelve of his works, this volume containing various letters.

Publicado por primera vez en 1790, este libro fue un exito tan clamoroso que recibió felicitaciones incluso de algunos monarcas europeos. No se trata de un relato histórico de los acontecimientos ocurridos en Francia, ni un estudio de su origen y desarrollo. Es un tratado contrarrevolucionario, cuyo aparente motivo inicial es un sermon del doctor Richard Price, sacerdote no conformista, que elogia la Revolucion francesa.Burke contrasta los derechos hereditarios y concretos en los que se fundamenta el Derecho britanico con los derechos del hombre de los revolucionarios franceses, en su opinion inconsistentes e impropios de una sociedad organizada, y que solo conducen al desastre.Analiza el estado de la Iglesia, la monarquia y la nobleza en Francia y discute el derecho a legislar por parte de la Asamblea Nacional francesa, criticando tambien su labor en el ambito legislativo, ejecutivo, judicial, militar y financiero.
