About This Item
London?: : Printed [By Henry Hills]. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1708. Wrappers. 39, [1] pages; The True-Born Englishman is a satirical poem published in 1701 by Daniel Defoe defending the then King of England William, who was Dutch-born, against xenophobic attacks by his political enemies, and ridiculing the notion of English racial purity. It quickly became popular. Quote, " Thus from a mixture of all kinds began, That het'rogeneous thing, an Englishman: In eager rapes, and furious lust begot Betwixt a painted Britain and a Scot. Whose gend'ring off-spring quickly learn'd to bow, And yoke their heifers to the Roman plough: From whence a mongrel half-bred race there came, With neither name, nor nation, speech nor fame. In whose hot veins new mixtures quickly ran, Infus'd betwixt a Saxon and a Dane While their rank daughters, to their parents just, Receiv'd all nations with promiscuous lust. This nauseous brood directly did contain The well-extracted blood of Englishmen. Stitched into later[? ] brown wrappers. Complete and clear. Text has the commonly found shallow waves probably from moisture or from drying ink. A very nice copy of this fragile pamphlet. .
