Summary: "An Appeal to Honour and Justice, Though It Be of His Worst Enemies" by Daniel Defoe is a political pamphlet written in the early 18th century, specifically around 1715. This work serves as a self-defense by Defoe, addressing accusations laid against him during a tumultuous political period in Britain. The text discusses themes of justice, integrity, and the complexities of party politics of the time. In this poignant appeal, Defoe recounts his experiences in public life, illustrating his commitment to moderate principles amid politically charged environments. Throughout the pamphlet, he defends his actions against allegations that he associated with or supported the Jacobite cause. Instead, he asserts his loyalty to the Protestant succession and provides details of his writings that were misinterpreted. He expresses a deep obligation to Queen Anne and the late Lord Godolphin, emphasizing that his works aimed to promote the Hanoverian interest rather than diminish it. The pamphlet ultimately serves not only as a personal vindication but also as a critique of the partisan conflicts that defined that era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
