I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did Burke call 'a smuggling adventure'?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The historian Piers Brendon asserts that Burke laid the moral foundations for the British Empire, epitomised in the trial of Warren Hastings, that was ultimately to be its undoing: when Burke stated that "The British Empire must be governed on a plan of freedom, for it will be governed by no other", this was "...an ideological bacillus that would prove fatal.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
