Edue T810.730.560 Harvard University, Dept. of Education Library TRANSFERRED TO HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY JUN 7 1921 COPYRIGHT, 1899, BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY. Norwood Press PREFACE THE introduction to this edition of Burke's speech on Conciliation with America is intended to supply the needs of those students who do not have access to a well-stocked library, or who, for any reason, are unable to do the collateral reading necessary for a complete understanding of the text. The sources from which information has been drawn in preparing this edition are mentioned under "Bibliography." The editor wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to many of the excellent older editions of the speech, and also to Mr. A. P. Winston, of the Manual Training High School, for valuable suggestions. V |
