Dunton's Ghost: Or A Speech To The Most Remarkable Persons In Church And State is a book written by John Dunton and published in 1714. The book is a satirical work that takes the form of a speech given by the ghost of Dunton to a group of notable figures from the Church and State. The speech is a scathing critique of the corruption and hypocrisy that Dunton sees in these institutions, and he uses his platform as a ghost to call out specific individuals for their misdeeds. Throughout the book, Dunton employs a witty and irreverent tone, poking fun at the foibles of his targets and making pointed observations about the state of society at the time.Despite its satirical nature, Dunton's Ghost is also a work of social commentary, offering insights into the political and religious climate of early 18th-century England. The book is considered an important example of the satirical genre and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and values of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
