Description

Leather Binding

The complete nine volume set of the Bohn's Standard Library editions of Burke's Works. Later editions published between 1884-1891 by George Bell and Sons. Originally published by Henry George Bohn in 1841, who sold his libraries to Bell and Sons in 1864. 

In half calf, in half marble boards. Life of Edmund Burke has a frontispiece of the political thinker by artist and Burke's friend Joshua Reynolds.

Bohn intended his library series as a means of bringing classic works to the masses. As one of the most important political philosophers in history and the founder of Conservatism, Burke remains highly influential today. In his Works, we as modern readers can gauge where political conservatism started and understand the figure who shaped it.
