In conclusion, it is worth while observing that in the study of a great character, joined with an attempt to estimate it by conventional standards, something must always be left unsaid. Much may be learned of Burke by knowing his record as a partisan, more by a minute inspection of his style as a writer, but beyond all this is the moral tone or attitude of the man himself. To a student of Burke this is the greatest thing about him. It colored every line he wrote, and to it, more than anything else, is due the immense force of the man as a speaker and writer. It was this, more than Burke's great abilities, that justifies Dr. Johnson's famous eulogy: "He is not only the first man in the House of Commons, he is the first man everywhere."

Not hard to read, over 200 years later. Quite persuasive and scholar, even though Burke was not able to persuade his fellow Member
It’s a shame to think that a young man, in need of a proper education, would find it difficult, and perhaps impossible, to find a class in our education system where this speech would be read, let alone analyzed. Thus, this Burkean panegyric on America, I have deemed necessary reading for any well-i
爱德蒙·柏克，一个冷静而智慧的爱国者，一个坚守原则与良知的人。在念及港台澳问题时，这本书里所包含的智慧，值得所有中国大陆的清醒公民去深思与践行。
A proposal to end the difficulties with America before they moved to full-scale independence. Burke's plan would have acknowledge the state of colonial affairs and allowed for self-government, but obligated America to provide money for the use of the Empire, but in America. An interesting look at a
Burke's lengthy speech, delivered to fellow British Parliamentarians validating the American colonists' grievances before the Revolutionary War, was an illuminating perspective. He recounted history on taxation, representation, and British policy toward the colonies, and the recent changes that had
An eloquent argument from Burke which I am inclined to agree with. He demonstrates the connection between Englishmen in the Mother Country and those in the New World beautifully, how both hold liberty dearly and, in Burke's point of view, it is not that Americans wish to rebel but that they are bein
I read this short speech because it was mentioned in David McCullough's "1776" and piqued my interest. Definitely worth mentioning and reading. Burke has a lot of reasons why they need to make peace with America; to me the most interesting is the idea that something besides rules and laws and taxes
A political speech on a fascinating topic. Shortly before the American Revolution, Burke gave a speech on the problems between the colonies and the old country.
