Drawn from what Edmund Burke said
What Edmund Burke actually said
- Edmund Burke Irish-born British statesman and political philosopher (1729 to 1797)
I am not afraid that I shall be disavowed, when I assure you that there is not one public man in this kingdom, whom you wish to quote,—no, not one, of any party or description,—who does not reprobate the dishonest, perfidious, and cruel confiscation which the National Assembly has been compelled to make of that property which it was their first duty to protect.
