Abstract
Adam Müller, talented speaker and publicist of the Romantic movement, was one of Edmund Burke's greatest admirers in the German speaking world. This paper describes several similarities and differences in the lives and writings of these conservative thinkers. This article also offers an English translation of a brief essay of Müller's on Burke's virtues as a statesman, political philosopher, and orator. Müller compares Burke's eloquence to that of Demosthenes and ranks him as the greatest orator of the century.
