By Josiah Tucker

Book Overview

""A Letter to Edmund Burke, Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol"" is a political treatise written by Josiah Tucker in 1775. The book is a response to Burke's speech to the electors of Bristol, in which he argued that MPs should use their own judgment and not simply represent the views of their constituents. Tucker, a proponent of laissez-faire economics, disagreed with Burke's argument and used the letter to criticize his views on representation and taxation. The book also includes Tucker's thoughts on the American colonies and the British Empire. Overall, ""A Letter to Edmund Burke"" is a significant work in the history of political thought and provides insight into the debates of the time surrounding representation and taxation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
