The book "A topical warning and admonition concerning the incursions of the Papists and Jacobites in favor of the pretender. A letter from an Englishman to the smokers of the court of Hanover" was written by Daniel Defoe. In this letter, the author warns of the dangers that lie in wait for the kingdom due to the actions of the papists and supporters of James II, who are speaking in favor of the pretender to the throne. In his work, Defoe addresses the English reader, trying to make him realize the serious consequences of political intrigues, which can end dangerously for the country. He calls for understanding of circumstances and loyalty to the crown. This postcard is an important historical document and reflects the thoughts and views of English publicists of that time on the political situation.
