 The Wild Geese Today -- Edmund Burke, The Conscience of a Nation
Burke was a constant critic of British colonial policies, and, in the 1780s, his investigation into The East India Company led to the impeachment of Warren Hastings, governor general of India.
Burke's opposition to these movements may well have been his fear that Grattan's Parliament would not be a government of all the Irish people but merely one that continued, and perhaps even strengthened, the long tradition or Irish Protestant rule and Irish Catholic subservience.
Burke is not a hero of Irish nationalists, nor should he be, for he never was a proponent of Irish republicanism.

Burke contributed extensively to this important periodical, though the exact length and scope of his contribution are not altogether clear.
It is commonplace to introduce anthologies of Burke's writings with William Hazlitt's well-known remark that "the only specimen of Burke is, all that he wrote." Given the huge range of Burke's intellectual, literary, and political interests, it is difficult for any anthology to do him justice.

 Reflections: The Newsletter of the Edmund Burke Society
It is likely that Burke now saw Laurence as a worthy substitute for the role left vacant by the death, in 1794, of Burke’s son (and Laurence’s contemporary at Oxford), Richard Burke Jr.
In some ways, Burke’s anti-Jacobin writings form the least contentious aspect of his legacy, although, within a short period of his death, the uncompromising stance of his “Letters on a Regicide Peace” (the third of which, in particular, Laurence influenced through his editing) had become outdated by the rise of Napoleon.
During his time as Burke’s legal adviser, for example, he had been required to draw up a refutation of the claim made by Hastings’s counsel that, as a new parliament had been elected since the impeachment had been ordered by the Commons, the trial had no legal standing and should be abandoned.
