Excerpt from The Beauties of Burke: Consisting of Selections From His Works

It is difficult for the most wise and up right government to correct the abuses of remote delegated power, productive of un measured wealth, and protected by the boldness and strength of the same ill-got riches. These abuses, full of their own wild, native vigour, will grow and flourish under mere neglect. But where the eu preme authority, not content with winking at the rapacity of its inferior instrumep is so shameless and corrupt as Openlr' give bounties and premiums for disoi ence to its laws; when it will not trv the activity of avarice in the pursuit own gains; when it secures pub.

Tentang pengarang (2016)

Born in Ireland in 1729, Edmund Burke was an English statesman, author, and orator who is best remembered as a formidable advocate for those who were victims of injustice. He was the son of a Dublin lawyer and had also trained to practice law. In the 1760s, Burke was elected to the House of Commons from the Whig party. Burke spent most of his career in Parliament as a member of the Royal Opposition, who was not afraid of controversy, as shown by his support for the American Revolution and for Irish/Catholic rights. His best-known work is Reflections on the French Revolution (1790). Some other notable works are On Conciliation with the American Colonies (1775) and Impeachment of Warren Hastings (1788). Edmund Burke died in 1797.
