A Second Letter To Edmund Burke (1782)

By Joseph Price

Book Overview

A Second Letter to Edmund Burke is a political essay written by Joseph Price in 1782. The book is a response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, which criticized the French Revolution and advocated for preserving the traditional social hierarchy. Price, a Welsh dissenting minister and political reformer, argued in his letter that Burke's views were outdated and that the French Revolution represented a necessary step towards liberty and equality. Price also criticized Burke's support for the American Revolution while opposing the French Revolution, which he believed was hypocritical. The book is considered an important contribution to the political debates of the time and a defense of democratic ideals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
