Status Updates From Conservatism

Finished, at long last. Yesterday.
Don't yet know how in the world I'm going to review it!

Started another book, then came back and still plowing through this one. It's easy to prefer the introductions by the editor that precede each of the selections than the selections themselves. Even with good translation and explanation. they can drag. You can sometimes see their biases and how they were shooting from the hip. Nevertheless, the continuing relevance to today stands out.

Slowly progressing; reading out loud at dinner. Been through chunks of Hume, Burke, Moser, and most recently Bonald. Maistre now. Introductions and explanations from the author/editor, who's an excellent teacher. Very different in that respect from Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind, which seeks to indoctrinate and hornswoggle rather than educate!
