About this book

Slander and reproach are what Daniel Defoe answers in this 1715 pamphlet, a defence of his conduct in public affairs. He writes that he has kept silent under years of abuse and now wants an impartial hearing. Age and ill health, he says, tell him his time is short, and he wishes to settle accounts with the world so that his heirs inherit an undamaged name.

The title page sets a verse from Jeremiah above the text and calls the work a true account of his conduct. The pamphlet was reprinted at Oxford in 1841. Defoe is better known today for Robinson Crusoe.

About the author

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
