This trial presents the first instance on record where truth was admitted as justification of
a libel, a doctrine since admitted in American jurisprudence.

On the back of the title-page is the following sentiment: "In an age of persecution,
when few people dare to write, and fewer still to print, these trials ought to be universally
read by every true friend to English Liberty, who will here see two of the most noble stands,
since the Revolution, in defence of Constitutional Freedom."

"Warm for the Congress but sensible, Dr. Zubly is a man of abilities, and a good writer; i
witness also his rational and pathetic Address to Lord Dartmouth prefixed to this Discourse."-
Monthly Review.

Dr. Zubly was a delegate from Georgia to the Constitutional Congress in 1775-6, and
notwithstanding his "warmth for the Congress," he opposed separation from England, and
returned to Savannah, which his unpopularity soon forced him to leave.
