By Edmund Burke

Book Overview

""Letters to a Member of the National Assembly"" is a collection of letters written by Edmund Burke, a prominent Irish statesman and philosopher, to a French politician during the French Revolution. The letters were originally published in 1791 and are considered a seminal work in political theory. Burke's letters are a scathing critique of the French Revolution and the radical ideas that were being espoused by the National Assembly.
