This is the bicentenary year of the birth of Edmund Burke, the great orator and political philosopher. Burke, whom Macaulay described as 'the greatest man since Milton,' was Member of Parliament for Bristol from 1774 to 1780. During that time he was a frequent visitor to the house of Hannah More, then at the threshold of her fame, whom he had met in London at the house of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
