A Letter To Edmund Burke, Member Of Parliament For The City Of Bristol (1775) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165253647)

""A Letter to Edmund Burke, Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol"" is a political pamphlet written by Josiah Tucker in 1775. The letter is addressed to Burke, who was a prominent British politician and philosopher, and was written in response to Burke's speech to the electors of Bristol. In his speech, Burke had argued that MPs should represent the interests of their constituents, rather than their own personal opinions. Tucker, who was a supporter of free trade and a critic of mercantilism, disagreed with Burke's views and used the letter to argue that MPs should be free to vote according to their own conscience, rather than being bound by the wishes of their constituents. The letter also contains Tucker's criticisms of the British government's economic policies, particularly its regulation of trade and its support for the American colonies. Overall, ""A Letter to Edmund Burke"" is an important document in the history of political thought and provides insight into the debates surrounding representation and economic policy in 18th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
