This volume of Burke's writings and speeches is divided into two
parts. The first covers the period between the time of his
retirement from the House of Commons in 1794 and his death in 1797.
His main preoccupation during this period was, of course, the
French Revolution and the progress of the war against France.
Surveying developments with dismay and apprehension, he produced a
critique of the Revolution which expressed much of his mature
thinking on political and social life, and issued a clarion call
for a European crusade to save civilization. Part II contains
Burke's writings and speeches relating to Ireland. From his entry
into political life, he was intensely interested in Irish problems,
religious, economic, and constitutional, and in Anglo-Irish
relations. Fervently believing that Great Britain and Ireland
should be partners within the Empire, in his last years he was
deeply disturbed by the influence of the French Revolution on Irish
politics.
