Louis Ignatius Bredvold

Edmund Burke, the greatest Whig spokesman of his day in the British Parliament, was one of the most forceful & rational political thinkers of all time. This selection from his speeches & writings reveals a political philosophy which is viable, even prophetic, in our own time.
