 Acknowledgements

I began to study Burke’s historical thought in September 2009, as my

doctoral research project at the University of Edinburgh. Since then, I
have met a number of people in the UK, Japan and other countries, and
I would like to thank all the people who helped me advance my research.
Firstly, I would like to thank two of my Ph.D. supervisors, Harry
Dickinson and Thomas Ahnert. Dickinson suggested this research pro-
ject to me when I was about to start my doctoral degree. Looking back
now, I realise that I was most fortunate to be given this suggestion and
to pursue the project with him for more than the last seven years. As all
of his students know, he is an ideal supervisor for a postgraduate student,
and it is very clear that I would not have been able to complete the pre-
sent monograph without him. During my doctoral degree and even after
that, he read my manuscript drafts literally numerous times and always
gave me very helpful comments and suggestions. His help, kindness and
industriousness struck me with awe, and I have always appreciated and
learned a great deal from his comments. Ahnert has also read a num-
ber of draft chapters of my Ph.D. thesis and the present monograph,
and provided me with many helpful comments and advice. I would not
have been able to complete the project for my Ph.D. and this mono-
graph without his sincere and friendly support over the last several years.
Richard Bourke has also helped me to advance my research on Burke,
ever since we met at the viva voce of my doctoral thesis. He has kindly
given me very encouraging comments and suggestions to the draft man-
uscripts of this book, to which I am very grateful. Moreover, I owe him

greatly for his great scholarship and research outcomes as every reader of
this book will clearly recognise in the following pages. Gordon Pentland
also supported the research of my doctoral degree and provided me with
helpful comments and suggestions.
I started reading Burke when I was an undergraduate at Hitotsubashi
University in Japan. Although I became a postgraduate student of the
same university for a short term in 2007, my supervisor Tamotsu
Nishizawa recommended and helped me to study abroad in the UK.
Now I strongly believe that his advice was absolutely right, and he has
continued to support me after I left my country for the UK. I sincerely
appreciate all the support and advice that he has offered to me over the
last decade. Yuri Yoshino has also supported me since I was an under-
graduate. I read Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France in depth
for the first time in her seminar, and she also kindly informed me about
a master’s degree programme on the Enlightenment at Edinburgh
University. Yoshino kindly read and commented on the entire manuscript
of this monograph, which I greatly appreciate. I would also like to thank
the members of the ‘Burke Study Group’ in Japan, which was organised
in 2014. I have learned a great deal from many stimulating discussions
and conversations with Nobuhiko Nakazawa, Masami Majima, Toshio
Tsunoda, Hajime Inuzuka, Hideki Kuwajima, Chihiro Kariya, Kiyoshi
Tachikawa, Yoshinori Doi and Kazunori Takahashi. I have also ben-
efited from comments, discussions and advice from Hiroshi Kishimoto,
Hideo Tanaka, Hiroko Aoki, Atushi Komine, Yutaka Furuya, Tatsuya
Sakamoto, Jun Iwai and many others for my research project.
From April 2014 to March 2017, I was a project research fellow at
the University of Tokyo Center for Philosophy (UTCP). I would like
to express my gratitude towards the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and
Education for supporting my research. I would also like to thank Yasuo
Kobayashi, Shinji Kajitani, Takahiro Nakajima, Tsuyoshi Ishii, Kohji
Ishihara and the other members of the institution. Chris Perkins, Richard
L. Stevenson, Mark Roberts, and Brian Locke kindly proofread parts of
the present monograph. Roberts and Locke also helped me to read the
handwritten manuscripts of the eighteenth century. Two anonymous
readers for Palgrave Macmillan gave me generous and encouraging com-
ments. Palgrave Macmillan, especially Kristin Purdy, Christine Pardue,
Megan Laddusaw and Aishwarya Balachandar helped me in the process
of the present publication, to which I am most grateful.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to Edinburgh University

Libraries, the National Library of Scotland, the Sheffield City Archives,
the Bodleian Library of Oxford University, Cambridge University
Libraries and Northamptonshire Archives for allowing me to access their
invaluable collections, to which the present study clearly is indebted.
My research has financially been supported by the Japanese Ministry
of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and
the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). During the period
between September 2009 and August 2012, my doctoral research was
awarded a scholarship by these organisations. My research project has also
been supported by MEXT/JSPS KAKENHI, grant numbers 16K20978
and 15H03332, and 16K02218, to which I am most grateful.

Introduction

Understanding history requires a variety of human capacities. Memory

helps us to recognise a lapse of time and shape our own life, or personal
history. The capacity to listen to and understand what other people say
leads us to acquire knowledge and recall memories from the past. The
ability to read, that had been historically gained only by some people,
enables us to access written language and ideas of history created by
someone in the past. The act of speaking, writing and communicating
with others further helps in developing historical knowledge to create a
more acute awareness of society, events and human conduct of the past.
These acts are by no means unusual human capacities and ­behaviours,
which have continued to exist since the distant past. In this sense,
Edmund Burke was only one of the individuals who used these capaci-
ties effectively to advance his career and his understanding of the world.
As an eighteenth-century European intellectual, he regarded his own
age as ‘enlightened’ while being conscious of the confusions and trag-
edies of previous centuries, which took place primarily in Europe but also
spread to other parts of the world. Nevertheless, he was not optimistic
as he believed that the enlightened society of his age might possibly be
drawn back into disorder again at some point in the future. Burke, who
died in 1797, is now part of history, and the present monograph is an
inquiry into the historical views, knowledge and awareness of this his-
torical figure, which the present author regards as worthy of substantial
investigation.

1   Historiography, Scope and Aims

Burke is one of the most widely read and most influential figures
among eighteenth-century British political intellectuals. For the last
several decades, scholarship has been developed substantially, and vari-
ous interpretations, both theoretical and historical, have been offered by
commentators. On the one hand, theoretically oriented commentators
have often read Burke from various perspectives of political theory and
ideology. One of the most famous of such readings is ‘natural law’ inter-
pretations. In the context of the ideological conflicts of the Cold War
after 1945, American conservatives regarded Burke as a great thinker
indebted to the traditions of classical and Catholic natural law. They con-
sidered him to be the one who had advocated the values of the eight-
eenth-century European world, and whose political thought could be
deployed later against communist nations, which were as revolutionary
and atheistic as Jacobinism in the late eighteenth century.1 Burke has also
been regarded as a utilitarian since the nineteenth century, and there was
once an intense debate between those who supported this view and the
‘natural law’ school.2 A Marxist commentator has disagreed with both
these interpretations and has presented Burke as a ‘bourgeois’ politician
who advocated both traditional and capitalist orders of society.3 Behind
this interpretation was another tradition of regarding Burke as a ‘laissez-
faire economist’ whose economic thought was essentially identical to
that of Adam Smith.4 Furthermore, scholars of literature and philosophy

Santayana (Chicago: Henry Regnery Publishing, 1953); P.J. Stanlis, Edmund Burke and
the Natural Law (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1958); Francis P. Canavan, The
Political Reason of Edmund Burke (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1960); Burleigh

1967). For discussion, see Seamus Deane, ‘Burke in the United States’, in The Cambridge

attempted boldly to link Burke’s aesthetics and his political thought,5

and some commentators of international relations stressed Burke’s con-
tributions to thought on international order and relations.6
In comparison to theoretical approaches, a historical approach has been
produced rather slowly, but it seems to have become more influential in the
current scholarship on Burke.7 At present, many scholars agree that Burke’s
political thought needs to be understood in the intellectual arena of early
modern Britain and Europe and that most of his political ideas, including
his response to the French Revolution, were not reactionary, but rather
often a variant of the Enlightenment ideas of his age. Well-informed about
eighteenth-century British politics and society, such commentators have
adopted historically nuanced interpretations which succeeded in uncover-
ing the details of his political life and the historical contexts of his thought,
from which various ideas of his on politics and civilisation sprang.8

especially, F.P. Lock, Edmund Burke (2 vols., Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998–
2006), I, 133–4, 322, 360–3, 388, 515; Donald Winch, ‘The Burke-Smith Problem and

The present book also adopts a historical approach, yet it is applied

to the theme which has not been profoundly explored by commenta-
tors, that is, Edmund Burke’s views of history. This is a theme whose
importance has been recognised for a long period of time, but that has
nevertheless remained under-researched. While Burke’s obvious intelli-
gence was recognised and admired by his contemporaries, this admira-
tion at times included a commendation of his historical knowledge. For
instance, one of his contemporaries, Henry Grattan, once remarked,
‘His [Burke’s] knowledge of history amounted to a power of foretell-
ing’.9 What was, actually, impressive to his contemporaries was the way
in which Burke used history; that is to say, his historical ideas often
appeared philosophical, imaginative and hence inspiring. In Samuel
Taylor Coleridge’s words, no one ‘ever read history so philosophically
as he [Burke] seems to have done’, although his speeches and writings
include ‘so many half truths’.10 Burke’s literary executors, Walker King
and French Laurence, correctly recognised the notion of continuity-in-
change in Burke’s thought:

the clear and penetrating sight of his [Burke’s] mind comprehended in one
view all the parts of the immense whole, which varying from moment to
moment, yet continuing through centuries essentially the same, extends
around and above to every civilized people in every age, and unites and
incorporates the present with the generations which are past.11

Walter Bagehot was one of Burke’s admirers in the high Victorian era,
and according to him, ‘Burke first taught the world at large… that poli-
tics are made of time and place—that institutions are shifting things, to

be tried by and adjusted to the shifting conditions of a mutable world’.12

Burke’s idea of political order was linked to his idea of metaphysical
order, and, in particular, his masterly depictions of the essence of society
such as ‘the partnership between the dead, the living and the future gen-
erations’ enabled his thought to continue to be influential. As Thomas B.
Macaulay remarked, Burke ‘had, in the highest degree, that noble faculty
whereby man is able to live in the past and in the future, in the distant
and in the unreal’.13
Even more remarkable is an association between his thought and
‘­
historicism’ or ‘historical prudence’, which was expressed as being
opposed to the abstract reasoning of the French revolutionaries.
According to William Graham, Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution
in France adopted ‘the new Historical Method of inquiry and explana-
tion’.14 Leslie Stephen declared that ‘his whole political doctrine from
first to last, implies the profound conviction of the truth of the principles
embodied in a thorough historical method’.15 In the nineteenth century,
the Burkean image of the British constitution as a great mansion which
had been slowly shaped over time prevailed among both Victorian lib-
erals and conservatives, although Burke’s influence on them was often
hidden rather than explicitly recognised.16 As Morley once stated, it was,
however, clear that his historical thought fitted well with the social and
intellectual climate of the day.17
Burke’s political thought has frequently been identified as a notable
example of the historical approach to politics. While modern history has

seen a sharp rise in normative, deductive and theoretical political science,

there has also existed a strong tradition of historical analysis of politics,
exemplified by writers including Montesquieu, Hegel, Marx and Weber.
The inclusion of Burke into this tradition seems correct in a broad,
though somewhat loose, sense, and he may be of particular interest to
modern readers because, unlike many other thinkers within this category,
he was actively engaged in real politics as a parliamentarian.18 According
to Carl Menger, Burke ‘taught that what existed and had stood the test,
what had developed historically, was again to be respected, in contrast to
the projects of immature desire for innovation’. For him, Burke’s idea
of social institutions as ‘the unintended result of historical development’
was inspiring and seemed to have some implications even for the eco-
nomics of his age.19
In the context of the intellectual tensions in the debate over theory
and practice, Burke’s ‘historicism’ was, nonetheless, sometimes regarded
as problematic rather than commendable. This was not because his his-
torical thought was expressed in the Reflections with his own passionate
language and peculiar rhetoric, which some commentators disliked. The
problem lay in the interrelationship between history, theory and judge-
ment of politics. That is to say, how could the appeal to history be rec-
onciled with the general ideas of political theory and judgement? Since
the publication of the Reflections, critics have at various times raised this
question, and some of them clearly expressed their criticisms and disap-
pointments. Among such later critics were Lord Acton and Leo Strauss.
Acton was initially a great supporter of Burke’s thought, yet eventu-
ally changed to become one of those critical of Burke’s ‘historicism’.
Ultimately, for Acton, Burke was ‘too historic’ and his ideas on history
