Born in Dublin, Burke served as a member of Parliament between 1766 and 1794 in the House of Commons of Great Britain with the Whig Party. Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religious institutions for the moral stability and good of the state. The set in this listing was owned by George Richards (1767 - 30 March 1837), an English Anglican priest and poet. FORN-MSB-0424-TUB0024-JC503
