Book Description
Irish-British statesman, economist, and philosopher, Edmund Burke wrote this letter when he got stripped of his pension in 1796. He responded by supporting his ideas on government economy and showing how his and other allowances were not conflicting with these ideas. Burke attacked the French Revolution and mentioned how its views endangered the very people after his pension, probably because he was hostile to precisely these ideas. This letter was praised a century and a half after being written as the most significant piece of invective in the English language.
