This volume contains Edmund Burke's influential "Four Letters On the Proposals for Peace With the Regicide Directory of France." Written in 1796-97, these letters offer a powerful critique of the British government's attempts to negotiate peace with the revolutionary French Directory following the French Revolution. Burke argues vehemently against such negotiations, viewing the Directory as an illegitimate and dangerous regime fundamentally opposed to the principles of traditional European order.
