"The Mercy of the Government Indicated" is a significant political pamphlet attributed to Daniel Defoe, published in 1716. This work engages with the pressing issues of governance and public sentiment in early 18th-century England. The pamphlet includes remarks upon a late pamphlet entituled 'An Argument To Prove the Affections of the People the Best Security of the Government', reflecting Defoe's keen interest in contemporary political debates.

Defoe's insightful analysis offers a valuable window into the political landscape of the time, exploring themes of governmental legitimacy and the role of public opinion. This historical document is essential for scholars and readers interested in political theory, British history, and the works of Daniel Defoe. The work provides context into the often turbulent political climate of the early Hanoverian period.
