of vols. i.-xii. in 2 vols. octavo in 1834. An edition in nine volumes was published in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1839. This contains the whole of the English edition in sixteen volumes, with a reprint of the _Account of the European Settlements in America_ which is not in the English edition. Among the numerous editions published later may be mentioned that in _Bohn's British Classics_, published in 1853. This contains the fifth edition of Sir James Prior's life; also an edition in twelve volumes, octavo, published by J.C. Nimmo, 1898. There is an edition of the _Select Works_ of Burke with introduction and notes by E.J. Payne in the Clarendon Press series, new edition, 3 vols., 1897. _The Correspondence of Edmund Burke_, edited by Earl Fitzwilliam and Sir R. Bourke, with appendix, detached papers and notes for speeches, was published in 4 vols., 1844. _The Speeches of Edmund Burke, in the House of Commons and Westminster Hall_, were published in 4 vols., 1816. Other editions of the speeches are those _On Irish Affairs_, collected and arranged by Matthew Arnold, with a preface (1881), _On American Taxation, On Conciliation with America_, together with the _Letter to the Sheriff of Bristol_, edited with introduction and notes by F.G. Selby (1895). The standard life of Burke is that by Sir James Prior, _Memoir of the Life and Character of Edmund Burke with Specimens of his Poetry and Letters_ (1824). The lives by C. MacCormick (1798) by R. Bisset (1798, 1800) are of little value. Other lives are those by the Rev. George Croly (2 vols., 1847), and by T. MacKnight (3 vols., 1898). Of critical estimates of Burke's life the _Edmund Burke_ of John Morley, "English Men of Letters" series (1879), is an elaboration of the above article; see also his _Burke, a Historical Study_ (1867); "Three Essays on Burke," by Sir James Fitzjames Stephen in _Horae Sabbaticae_, series iii. (1892); and _Peptographia Dublinensis, Memorial Discourses preached in the Chapel of Trinity College, Dublin_, 1895-1902; _Edmund Burke_, by G. Chadwick, bishop of Derry (1902). BURKE, SIR JOHN BERNARD (1814-1892), British genealogist, was born in London, on the 5th of January 1814, and was educated in London and in France. His father, John Burke (1787-1848), was also a genealogist, and in 1826 issued a _Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the United Kingdom_. This work, generally known as _Burke's Peerage_, has been iss
