Excerpt from Letter to His CountrymenThe private citizen who comes before the world with matter relating to himself, is bound to show a better reason for the mea sure than the voluntary impulses of self-love. In my own case, it might, perhaps, appear a sufficient excuse for the step now taken, that I am acting chieﬂy on the defensive; that the editors of several of the public journals have greatly exceeded their legitimate functions, by animadverting on my motives and private affairs; and that assertions, Opinions, and acts, have been openly attributed to me, that I have never uttered, entertained, or done. When an individual is thus dragged into notice, the right of self-vindication would seem to depend on a principle of natural justice; and yet, if I know the springs of my own conduct, I am less inﬂuenced by any personal considerations in what I am now doing, than by a wish to check a. Practice that has already existed too long among us; which appears to me to be on the increase; and which, while it is degrading to the character, if persisted in, may become dangerous to the institutions of this country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
