Dr. Walker's True, Modest, And Faithful Account Of The Author Of Eikon Basilike, Strictly Examined,

Dr. Walker's True, Modest, and Faithful Account of the Author of Eikon Basilike, Strictly Examined, and Demonstrated to be False, Impudent, and Deceitful in Two Parts is a book written by Thomas Long in 1693. The book is a critique of the famous Eikon Basilike, a book that was believed to have been written by King Charles I during his imprisonment and eventual execution in 1649. Long argues that the authorship of the book is not that of King Charles I, but rather that of a ghostwriter. He further asserts that the ghostwriter was a deceitful and impudent individual who falsely claimed to have written the book on behalf of the king. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the authorship of Eikon Basilike, and the second part providing evidence to support Long's claims. The book is considered an important work in the study of English literature and history, and provides a critical analysis of a significant piece of literature from the 17th century.The First Disproving It To Be Dr. Gauden's, The Second Proving It To Be King Charles The First's.
