An Appendix to The Present State of the Nation. Containing a Reply to the Observations on That Pamphlet. By the Author of The State of the Nation

An Appendix to The Present State of the Nation (1769) is a pamphlet by William Knox that serves as a rebuttal to criticisms of his earlier work, The Present State of the Nation. The objections Knox responds to were written by Edmund Burke, making this a notable exchange between two prominent eighteenth-century political writers.
