This pamphlet, "The Convict's Address To His Unhappy Brethren," presents a poignant appeal from a condemned prisoner to his fellow inmates. Though signed with the name W. Dodd, it is widely acknowledged to be largely the work of the esteemed Samuel Johnson, with additions by William Dodd himself. The text offers a compelling glimpse into the mind of a convict facing execution, meditating on themes of guilt, repentance, and the hope for redemption.

Published in the late 18th century, the address provides valuable insight into the social and legal attitudes of the time, particularly concerning crime and punishment. Johnson's eloquent prose lends the convict's voice a powerful resonance, making it a significant historical and literary document. Readers interested in legal history, prison reform, and the writings of Samuel Johnson will find this work both informative and moving.
