Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 1 of 4: Between the Year 1744, and the Period of His Decrease, in 1797 Although more than forty years have elapsed since the death of Mr. Burke, the examination of the papers he left after him has been but lately brought to a close. This delay has arisen not so much from the quality of materials found after the decease (through these were not inconsiderable), as from the particular circumstances of the persons to whom the papers were given in charge. Upon the death of Mr. Burke in 1797, Dr. French Laurence, an eminent civilian, and member of the House of Commons, and Dr. Walker King, afterwards Bishop of Rochester, were entrusted with the care of all the papers of their deceased friend.
