This monograph by a distinguished Burke scholar discusses the British statesman's attempts to redefine his native Ireland as an integral part of Britain and, as a by blow, reduce the possibility of revolutionary insurgency a la the French Revolution. A novel use is made of parallel movements and ideas current in British India that fell under Burke's purview.
