Letter to a Member of the National Assembly in Answer to Some Objections to...
Edmund Burke
A HANDSOMELY BOUND COPY
The letter to a member of the National Assembly was published in February 1791 and is notable for its open condemnation of Rousseau and his influence on French politics and ethics. Burke avoids any punches, calling Rousseau a man driven by vanity and lack of taste. Chides the leaders of the French Revolution for following Rousseau, thereby reversing the ideals of taste and grace, which are worthy of preservation, and combining them with aristocracy, the target of the French Revolution.
