About this book

Land, money, and the authority of law are inseparable in Edmund Burke's criticism of the National Assembly. He traces attempts to sell Church property, disputes over who should benefit, and the pressure to raise funds when money is scarce. The resulting paper currency, backed by the expected sale of land, becomes central to his account of how financial policy binds people to a new political order.

The argument extends to the abolition of established courts and the compensation offered to their officers. Burke connects these changes with the security of property and the independence of justice, presenting finance as a test of political principles. His notes bring in religious texts, English constitutional documents, and testimony about events in Paris.

About the author

Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Anglo-Irish writer, philosopher and politician who sat in the House of Commons as a Whig member from 1766 to 1794. His thought is linked with liberal conservatism and opposition to revolution, and his writings shaped opinion in Britain and France after the French Revolution of 1789.
