This research demanding situations the traditional polarities used to explain British politics of the 1790s; Pitt as opposed to Fox, Burke as opposed to Paine, Church as opposed to Dissent, ruling type as opposed to operating classification, Jacobin as opposed to anti-Jacobin. Such polarities have been sedulously promoted by means of Pitt's wartime executive, which utilized 'Jacobin' shamelessly to all its critics and competitors, and therefore foreshadowed the McCarthyite tactic of guilt by way of organization. the writer seeks to make the fewer strident yet extra persuasive modern voices back audible. he's taking heavily those that puzzled the need for Burke's campaign to wreck the French republic, and who deplored Britain's alliance with the partitioners of Poland.

The British experience of internal revolution should make them the first to make allowances for the exceptional nature of a revolutionary situation. 49 No doubt the Annual Register saw these arguments, printed without editorial comment, as an example of predictable French propaganda. But the extract offers a corrective to the equally predictable Burkean or Pittite propaganda which generations of British historians have presented to posterity. 2 The New Annual Register for 1793 wondered whether Pitt’s ‘same puerile ardour to distinguish himself as a war minister, which induced him to expend four millions in a contest for the cat-skins of Nootka might prompt his warm imagination to anticipate the conquest of France’.
The review considers that this ‘solitary’ defence of Burke, like the Reflections, is ‘powerful in invective, but impotent in argument’. ’2 The Analytical gave equally short shrift to Letter to the Right Hon. Edmund Burke, allegedly by a French curé, M. Rosibonne, which its reviewer characterized as an ‘ill-written and incoherent’ pamphlet that attempted to outdo Burke by depicting the French National Assembly 28 Instant History 29 as ‘hordes of forest-born boors, transformed into wild beasts, crowding together and vowing to exterminate our gentlemen’.
It was Dodsley who also published Burke’s Reflections, selling 18 000 copies in its first year. The objectivity of the Register as a journal of record was further undermined by production delays, which led to the volume for 1789 (ending with the fall of the Bastille) finally appearing in 1792, while the record of the events of October 1789 was not published until 1793, when we were already at war with republican France. 28 Instant History 35 The report, demonstrating the privilege of hindsight conferred by delayed publication, adds that ‘like other evil habits’, the custom ‘has since taken so deep a root, that it may seem a question whether it can ever be eradicated, except by some convulsion similar in violence to that from which it derived its origin’.
