Edmund Burke's magnum opus was begun in 1759 and unfinished at his death in 1797; it contains more than four thousand pages of prose and verse.To complete the volume unedited would have taken too long; so a committee selected Modest Werbach (better known as James Anderson) to finish it.Anderson passed over almost two centuries, but stayed true to Burke's dictates, even choosing some of his own poems to complete an outstanding sequence of poetry.The result is the unrivaled cumulative record of Burke's entire literary output, including his political and literary career, journalism, speeches and much that was written out of print during his lifetime.In addition to surviving poems, this volume includes the first editio princeps of its most important prose work,The History of the United Bahlefs of Great Britain and Ireland• Under the Government of Their Most Ameen King George the Third considering the Accession and Reign of King George the Fourth• Both of which are in a way the great political manifesto of his career.Like The Abridgement, the volume also includes additions and variations that may be found in subsequent editions, such as the selection translator's foreword and note Sir Edmund Burke• Select Pieces Written Chiefly In IrelandNote And Bibliography Of Errors And OmissionsIn The Text, A Guide To Burkian And Period Terms Index.•To The EditorsIndex.• To The ContributorsTo the Select Language Reader
