About this title

Review

this edition serves as a fit record of Burke's growing importance as well as the frustrations in his later period of serving the Rockinghams. (William Levine, Eighteenth Century Studies)

This fine edition of Burke's writings and speeches between 1774 and 1780 is a very welcome addition to the superb new edition of Burke's works under the general editorship of Paul Langford ... it is a major boon to scholars to have in print so many of his speeches which are normally only available to those with access to major research libraries and archives. (H. T. Dickinson, History)

since 1981, the Clarendon Press has been publishing Burke's writings and speeches under the overall editorship of Paul Langford ... No one reading these genuinely engrossing volumes can doubt the calibre of Burke's mind, the power of his language, or the enduring pungency of his political comment. ... There is an enormous even surprising amount to be learnt ... from a scrupulous reading of Elofson and Wood's edition of the speeches and writings of 1774-80. (London Review of Books, 4 September 1997)
