title: The Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke: Volume IV: Party, Parliament, and the Dividing of the Whigs, 1780-1794
author: Paul Langford
description: <br>"[A] scholarly triumph...[Burke's] greatest tribute is the vast textual expertise of the book itself. It is a meticulous collation of texts-newspaper accounts, published writings, and Burke's papers and manuscripts-presented in a readable fashion with headnotes that inform the reader of the issue at hand and Burke's prior involvement in it."--<em>First Things</em>
