# Augusta Triumphans

_Or, the Way to Make London the Most Flourishing City in the Universe_

By Daniel Defoe.

"Augusta Triumphans" by Daniel Defoe is a pamphlet published in 1728. Through the voice of fictional speaker Andrew Moreton, Defoe presents ambitious proposals to transform London into the world's greatest city. The work advocates for establishing a university, music academy, foundling hospital, and regulated mental health institutions. It also calls for measures against moral corruption and street crime, including better lighting and professional watchmen. Part of Defoe's later social reform writings, this pamphlet reflects his lifelong engagement with London's improvement and his belief in practical projects for societal advancement.
