Summary

"An Answer to a scurrilous pamphlet, lately printed, intituled, A letter from Monsieur de Cros, to the Lord ----" is a fiery response to a critical pamphlet aimed at discrediting a notable figure's political memoirs. The author steps forward to defend these memoirs, dissecting the arguments of Monsieur de Cros and exposing what they deem to be a lack of coherence and substance in his attacks. The rebuttal methodically picks apart the criticisms, revealing perceived contradictions and absurdities in the original pamphlet's claims. The author suggests that the adversary's arguments are shallow and fail to grasp the deeper meaning of the memoirs, hinting at a personal vendetta rather than genuine critique. The pamphlet becomes a spirited defense of both the integrity of political expression and intelligent writing, casting the attacker as someone more interested in personal attacks than reasoned debate.
