This famed Payne edition of Select Works of Edmund Burke is universally revered by students of English history and political thought. Volume 1, Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents and The Two Speeches on America, contains Burkes brilliant defense of the American colonists complaints of British policy, including Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (1770), Speech on American Taxation (1774), and Speech on Conciliation (1775). Volume 2 consists of Burkes renowned Reflections on the Revolution in France. Volume 3 presents Burkes Four Letters on the Proposals for Peace with the Regicide Directory of Francegenerally styled Letters on a Regicide Peace (17951796).The Letters, Payne believed, deserve to rank even before [Burkes] Reflections, and to be called the writers masterpiece. Faithfully reproduced in each volume are E. J. Paynes notes and introductory essays. Francis Canavan, one of the great Burke scholars of the twentieth century, has added forewords and a biographical note on Payne.In the companion volume Miscellaneous Writings, Canavan has collected seven of Burkes major contributions to English political thinking on representation in Parliament, on economics, on the political oppression of the peoples of India and Ireland, and on the enslavement of African blacks. The volume concludes with a select bibliography on Edmund Burke.Francis Canavan (19172009) was Professor of Political Science at Fordham University from 1966 until his retirement in 1988.
