Letters To A Member Of The National Assembly

""Letters To A Member Of The National Assembly"" is a collection of letters written by the renowned Irish statesman and philosopher, Edmund Burke. The letters were originally published in 1791, and they were addressed to a French politician, Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Gobel, who was a member of the National Assembly during the French Revolution. In these letters, Burke expresses his views on the French Revolution and the events that were unfolding in France at the time. He argues that the revolution was not a positive development, but rather a violent and destructive movement that was causing chaos and instability in France. Burke also criticizes the ideas of the revolutionaries, including their belief in the absolute sovereignty of the people and their rejection of traditional institutions and values.Throughout the book, Burke emphasizes the importance of preserving established institutions and traditions, and he argues that the French Revolution was a dangerous experiment that would ultimately lead to tyranny and despotism. Despite his criticisms, Burke also expresses sympathy for the French people and their struggles, and he acknowledges the need for reform and progress in society.Overall, ""Letters To A Member Of The National Assembly"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in European history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, history, or the French Revolution.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V3, by Edmund Burke.
