Thoughts On The Prospect Of A Regicide Peace

""Thoughts On The Prospect Of A Regicide Peace: In A Series Of Letters"" is a political treatise written by Edmund Burke in 1796. The book is a collection of letters that Burke wrote in response to the peace negotiations between the French Republic (which was then ruled by the revolutionary government known as the Committee of Public Safety) and Great Britain. Burke was a prominent conservative political philosopher and statesman who vehemently opposed the French Revolution and its radical ideology. In this book, he argues that any peace treaty with the revolutionary government would be a betrayal of British values and interests. He believed that the French Republic was a dangerous and unstable regime that posed a threat to the stability and security of Europe. Throughout the book, Burke presents a detailed analysis of the French Revolution, its causes, and its consequences. He argues that the revolutionary government is fundamentally opposed to the principles of law, order, and tradition that are the foundation of British society. He warns that any peace treaty with the French Republic would be a surrender to their revolutionary ideology and would ultimately lead to the destruction of British institutions and values. ""Thoughts On The Prospect Of A Regicide Peace"" is a powerful and eloquent defense of conservative values and a warning against the dangers of revolutionary ideology. It is a classic work of political philosophy that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and political thinkers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
