Excerpt from Junius Finally Discovered
I hope that my readers will observe that almost every proposition laid down by me is sustained by facts, and by history, in which the books and pages are cited. That I rarely volunteer an Opinion of my own, unless it is amply supported by historical facts, or corroborated by well-known authors and able critics. If the reader will examine the books of Mr. Taylor and H. R. Francis, frequently referred to in this discussion, wherein they contend that Sir Philip Francis was the author of the Junius Letters, he will discover that almost every one of their propositions is founded upon their own opinions, surmises and conjectures, without any facts or history to sustain them; the reason Why, is very evident: there were no facts or history in existence which tended to prove their contention. It is impossible to prove a fact which does not exist.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the enduring mystery of the identity of Junius, the pseudonymous author of a series of politically charged letters that ignited 18th-century England and continue to fascinate historians today. The author presents a compelling theory, supported by textual analysis and historical research, that Junius was a highly placed Englishman who fought alongside the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Through a comprehensive examination of the letters' literary style, political views, and biographical hints, the author builds a strong case for their theory, shedding new light on the identity of one of history's most enigmatic figures. The book also delves into the broader context of the era, examining the political turmoil and social unrest that fueled Junius's writings, and highlighting the enduring relevance of their insights on freedom of the press and the limits of government authority. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
