Notes
"Printed by Georg Stafford for T. Cadell"
This is the speech given by Price to the London Revolution Society, against which Edmund Burke reacted in his famous 'Reflections'. Price compared the French Revolution to the Glorious Revolution. It marked the beginning of a long controversy in Britain between supporters and adversaries of the French Revolution. Price accompanied the published version of his speech with several appendices. The original three appendices grew to more than ten in the fifth edition. Many were translations of letters from France.
