Burke wrote and edited the Annual Register from its first appearance in May 1759 until at least 1765–66, after which he retained supervisory control over it for about thirty years. In 1758 Burke contracted with the publisher Robert Dodsley to “write, collect, and compile” an Annual Register, reviewing the political and cultural events of Europe during the previous year. After graduating from Trinity College, Dublin, he went to London to study law but soon became active in literature and politics. Edmund Burke was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1729 and died in 1797 at his home in Beaconsfield, England, where he is buried. ![]()
