What is the author's tone in A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful by Edmund Burke?

The tone Edmund Burke establishes is energetic, lively, and inviting, seeming to ask the reader to join in and ponder the questions alongside Burke; but in the mode of authority and professional philosopher, Burke also is sure to keep his distance and keep to the rigor that has become customary in philosophical treatises, treating the reader not as a friend or conversation partner but as another rational being, capable of high thought, interested in the debate at hand.
