Third edition, ‘revised, corrected and expanded with a table of contents’. Bound following the table of contents: ‘Letter from Mr Burke to his translator’ (8 pp.). In this political essay, Edmund Burke (1729–1797), a Liberal Member of Parliament and one of the leading figures of the Whig Party, offers a critique of the French Revolution. His analysis, which proved accurate in the light of subsequent events, has ensured him a certain measure of posterity. From the library of Henri Joliet, bearing his bookplate with the monogram CBMHI and the motto ‘Think more than you speak’. On the inside front cover, a label indicating another provenance: ‘No. 59. Mr Thomas, parish priest of Mormant, Member of the National Assembly’. A fine copy.
