Excerpt from Edmund Burke, Apostle of Justice and Liberty Era such as this, when the sound traditions of English constitutionalism have been abandoned for political trickery; when principle and consistency have been discarded in a heedless competition for the favour of the mob; and when the main object of politicians appears to be the capture of votes by the most reckless promises, we cannot do better than turn for guidance to the words of one who never faltered in his loyalty to Justice and Liberty, those fundamental principles of that true Liberalism of which he was the first and foremost exponent.
