About this book

An Appeal to Honour and Justice, Though It Be of His Worst Enemies is described as being a true account of his conduct in public affairs. The writer hopes that the time is come at last when the voice of moderate principles may be heard. The writer says it is and ever was his opinion that moderation is the only virtue by which the peace and tranquillity of this nation can be preserved.

The writer says that the charge against him was brought not because his accusers believed him guilty of the crime but because it was necessary to blacken the man, so that it was the person, not the crime, they fell upon. The writer concludes a part of the work in the words of the prophet, "I heard the defaming of many; fear on every side; report, say they, and we will report it," and cites Jer. xx. 10.

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.
