Summary "Reflections upon Two Pamphlets Lately Published by Anonymous" is a critical response by an unnamed author, presumably writing in the late 17th century. The text serves as a political commentary and critique of two pamphlets—one a letter from Monsieur de Cros regarding the "Memoirs of Christendom," and the other an answer purportedly written by the author of those memoirs. The book dives into themes of reputation, truth, and the consequences of public discourse, reflecting the tension and intrigue prevalent in the sociopolitical climate of the time. In these reflections, the author takes a stand against the scurrilous nature of de Cros’ letter, calling it mendacious and lacking merit. The text discusses de Cros’ claims and accusations concerning another individual, presumably Sir W. Temple, whom de Cros criticizes harshly. The author vehemently defends the integrity and reputation of Sir W. Temple while analyzing the content and motives behind de Cros’ writings. Ultimately, the author argues for the principles of truth and learning, expressing dismay at the character assassination attempted through the pamphlets, and promoting a reasoned discourse over disreputable attacks.
