The Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke

Volume VI contains Burke's writings and speeches during two years in the House of Commons and the first session of the trial in the House of Lords. The volume covers the beginnings of the famous impeachment of Warren Hastins, which was to be one of Burke's major preoccupations for the rest of his life. The speeches convey Burke's vision of India and of imperial justice, as well as his moral and political thought as a whole on the eve of the French Revolution.
