fears became a reality when Englishmen began to express their strong supportfor the radical changes in France, describing the National Assembly as a

model to be adopted in Britain. When the Revolution Society, an associationcomposed of Anglican Whigs and Protestant dissenters, met on November 5,1789, the speaker, Dr. Richard Price turned his sermon A Discourse on theLove of Our Country into a praise of the French Revolution. It was Pricessermon that determined Burke to start the battle with the French Revolution.Burkes response to Prices sermon, Reflections on the Revolution in France,and on the Proceedings in certain Societies in London relative to that Event was published in November 1790. Burke recognised the abuses of the OldRegime in France, and was ready to encourage substantial remedies. On the

other hand Burke believed that French monarchy was capable of beingreformed, and made part of a constitutional arrangement. By demolishing theFrench monarchy rather than accepting it as a necessary component of thepolitical system, the French revolution, Burke predicted, approached themilitary dictatorship of Napoleon. Burke was no champion of thestatus quo.In spite of his instinctive distrust of sudden change, he insisted that a statewithout the means of some change was without the means of conservation.The law of change was in nature, Burke argued, and statesmen had to adjusttheir policies to its necessities. Nevertheless he distinguished between true

reform and violent revolution, between drastic reform and gradualimprovements. He believed in reform through prudence, and in accordancewith the constitutional tradition of England and natural law principles.Keywords: change, government, reform, revolution
