(Attorney Hugh Logan leaves Canada for Scotland to negotia...)
Attorney Hugh Logan leaves Canada for Scotland to negotiate the purchase of Carnglass Island and the castle Old House of Fear for his employer, Duncan MacAskival. Logan is continually thwarted and threatened on his journey. But no matter how bad his travels, his arrival onto the island brings much worse trouble. Carnglass is under the control of evil genius Dr. Edmund Jackman, a Soviet-educated political revolutionary convinced that Logan is a spy who must die. Will Jackman's plot be thwarted? Will Logan be able to rescue the lovely niece of the noble owner of Old House? Will anyone get off the island alive? Debuting in the 1960s, Old House of Fear was Russell Kirk's most popular book, selling more than all his other books combined. Yet this Gothic tale is more than just a fascinating work of fiction. As in all of Kirk's stories, a deeper meaning emerges -- in this case, a satirization of Marxism and liberalism -- demonstrating the acute sense of the moral that sets Kirk apart from other genre writers.

(Transcending the commonplace that conservative constituti...)
Transcending the commonplace that conservative constitutional interpretation is chained to the bare text of the document itself, the eminent political philosopher Russell Kirk lays the foundation for a conservative understanding of the "living Constitution" in a classic popular study of the social, cultural, and political inheritance of the American Founding. Respect for the country's "unwritten constitution"-the collective customs, mores, and conventions of the nation-will, Kirk argues, simultaneously restrain judges' temptations to social engineering from the bench and endow the Constitution with the flexibility necessary to survive the passage of decades and centuries. This reasoned and urbane contribution to our understanding of the Constitution confounds facile liberal-conservative dichotomies. First published in 1990 as The Conservative Constitution, this important book has been thoroughly revised and greatly expanded, with a new introduction by Russell Hittinger. One of Kirk's most original works, Rights and Duties draws a conservative portrait of "a revolution not made but prevented," of a Constitution owing more to British whiggery and the Common Law than to Locke and the Enlightenment.

(Contemplating Edmund Burke's influential role in shaping ...)
Contemplating Edmund Burke's influential role in shaping modern political parties and political theory, Russell Kirk proclaims: If conservatives would know what they defend, Burke is their touchstone; and if radicals wish to test the temper of their opposition, they should turn to Burke... After his death Burke became the intellectual founder of a new and more powerful party, the Conservative-a fusion of Tories and conservative Whigs-which now endures as the oldest coherent policy party in the fluctuating twentieth-century world. This special edition is printed on acid-free paper, luxuriously bound in leather, and embellished with gold stamping of an original design. The raised bands across the spine are distinctive of the classic bookmaker's art. Specially commissioned marbleized endleaves are reminiscent of fine Old World editions.

"This mystical romance, conforming faithfully to the canons of the Gothick tale as expounded by Walter Scott in his memoir of Ann Radcliffe, I dedicate to my sister, Carolyn, whom I endeavored to affright in her tender years. She will know this narrative to be perfectly true." -- Russell Kirk

(The American Cause explains in simple yet eloquent langua...)
The American Cause explains in simple yet eloquent language the bedrock principles upon which America's experiment in constitutional self-government is built. Russell Kirk, whose life and thought has recently been featured in C-SPAN's acclaimed American Writers series -- intended this little book to be an assertion of the moral and social principles upholding our nation. Kirk's primer is an aid to reflection on those principles -- political, economic, and religious -- that have united Americans when faced with challenges and threats from the enemies of ordered freedom. In this new age of terrorism, Kirk's lucid and straightforward presentation of the articles of American belief is both necessary and welcome. Gleaves Whitney's newly edited version of Kirk's work, combined with his insightful commentary, make The American Cause a timely addition to the literature of liberty.

Samuel Johnson defines "A Tory" as a man attached to orthodoxy in church and state. A bohemian defined as a wandering and often impecunious man of letters or arts, indifferent to the demands of fads or fables. It is, however, possible to abide by the norms of civilized existence while at the same time setting at defiance for the soft securities and shameful conventionalities of the day in which one lives.

(Russell Kirk was a leading figure in the post-World War I...)
Russell Kirk was a leading figure in the post-World War II revival of American interest in Edmund Burke. Today, no one who takes seriously the problems of society dares remain indifferent to "the first conservative of our time of troubles." In Russell Kirk's words: "Burke's ideas interest anyone nowadays, including men bitterly dissenting from his conclusions. If conservatives would know what they defend, Burke is their touchstone; and if radicals wish to test the temper of their opposition, they should turn to Burke." Kirk unfolds Burke's philosophy, showing how it revealed itself in concrete historical situations during the eighteenth century and how Burke, through his philosophy, "speaks to our age. "This volume makes vivid the four great struggles in the life of Burke: his efforts to reconcile England with the American colonies; his involvement in cutting down the domestic power of George III; his prosecution of Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of India; and his resistance to Jacobinism, the French Revolution's "armed doctrine."
