Godwin, William Letters of Verax to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle (25 May 1815) (22 June 1815)

Letters to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle , under the pseudonym of 'Verax', arguing against further war with Napoleon. The first was published on 25 May, the day that the Commons voted to support the war. The Morning Chronicle turned the second one down and so Godwin published both as a pamphlet under his own name. Once again his timing was unfortunate: the pamphlet appeared on 22 June, four days after Waterloo and the same day Napoleon abdicated, and it was quickly withdrawn by Godwin.
