Reflections on the Revolution in France

And on the Proceeding in Certain Societies in London Relative to That Event in a Letter Intended to Have Been Sent to a Gentleman in Paris. 1790

Edmund Burke

Written immediately after the French Revolution, Burke’s primary antirevolutionary work questions the motives of the actors and warns against the pulling down of all that is good in society with the bad, which would prove amazingly prophetic.
