- Abstract:
- Autograph manuscript, corrected, of a political oratory on Edmund Burke, 1729/30-1797. The essay praises Burke's role in furthering "transatlantic independence" and suggests Burke's prediction of another revolution in "the Carnatic" due to similar colonial abuses there. Also defends Burke's criticisms of the French revolution, and praises Burke for his support of "his Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen" and his attention to "the abolition of the gigantic abominations of the Slave Trade." Also mentions Chatham [William Pitt, 1st Earl of, 1708-1778].
