Description

Edmund Burke, member of the British House of Commons for Bristol, gave this speech on conciliation with the American colonies on March 22, 1775, which was published May 1775. It was an early twentieth century model for English rhetoric, particularly in America. Besides being a wonderfully constructed composition, the policies this speech advocates were prescient.
