Summary: "An Answer to a scurrilous pamphlet, lately printed, intituled, A letter from Monsieur "de Cros", to the Lord ----" is a polemical work likely authored by an anonymous writer in the late 17th century. The book serves as a rebuttal to a pamphlet attacking Sir William Temple's "Memoirs," which detailed his experiences and insights regarding political affairs of the time. The work focuses on defending Temple's reputation by critiquing the writing style and arguments presented by Monsieur de Cros, who is depicted as lacking substance and coherence. In the text, the author meticulously dismantles de Cros's claims by addressing various points of contention, often highlighting the absurdity and contradictions in de Cros's assertions. The author argues that de Cros's letter fails to engage with the actual context or significance of Temple's writings, instead relying on insults and unfounded accusations. The work is characterized by its sharp wit, extensive use of rhetorical devices, and its aim to vindicate Temple's contributions to political discourse while ridiculing his adversary's lack of literary merit. Ultimately, the pamphlet emerges as a spirited defense of political integrity and the art of writing, exposing de Cros as an antagonist more concerned with personal vendetta than with reasoned argument.
