"At the time when the Letters' appeared, pamphlets abounded, fixing their authorship, to the perfect satisfaction of each pamphleteer, upon every public man; the "Gent. Mag.' opened its columns to suggestions, and was filled with them; in 1824, the Monthly Magazine renewed the subject; in 1837, pamphlets again appeared, with fresh lights, which flickered and went out; and lately, Notes and Queries' has worked like a mole on the subject; but they all have been gropings in the dark. We believe the 'Letters' have been fathered, with a greater or less degree of confidence, upon upwards of forty public characters. The most favoured were Sir Philip Francis, Lord Lyttelton, Colonel Barré, Burke, J. Dunning (afterwards Lord Ashbur ton), Chatham, Dr. Wilmott, Hugh Boyd, Wilkes, Horne Tooke, Lord George Sackville, Governor Pownall, Sir. G. Jackson, Maclean, and Dr. Sidney Swinney. The wildest conjectures have gained believers, and there have been madmen to lay them to George III., a Captain Allen, Suett the comedian, Combe (the author of Dr. Syntax'), Bickerton, an eccentric Oxonian, and an utterly unknown Mr. Jones. Who this famous writer was, will be a question asked by generations to follow us."-See ANDREWS'S British Journalism, Vol. I., p. 185.

"Numerous were the disputants who, emulating the fame of Junius, now rushed into the lists with high-sounding Roman names. Marcus Antonius, Scipio, Brutus, Cato, Valerius, Virginius, played the buffoon in the Evening Post,' and thought they were dividing the laurels with the great gladiator of the Public Advertiser'; but they were Romans only in name, - Grubstreet claimed them for its own. Crabbe has had his laugh at them in his poem of 'The Newspaper':

Barré, Lieut.-Col. Isaac, M.P.

In the works by Britton and Jaques (Nos. LXXXV. and LXXXVI.), I find the opinion expressed that Barré was aided by Lord Shelburne and Dunning (afterwards Lord Ashburton), The "Morning Herald," as early as 1813, stated that the Earl of Shelburne was probably Junius, and that Barré and Dunning assisted him.

For the claims advanced in favor of and against Barré, see Jaques' work, p. 141, Allibone, Britton, Wade, 11. xxix, and No. LXXVI.

Bentinck, William Henry Caven

Boyd, Hugh M'Aulay. b. 1746; d. 1791.

Boyd's claims are summarily disposed of in Wade's work (No. LXXVII.). Almon, in the first volume of "Anecdotes," published in 1797, designates Boyd as the author of Junius. See also Wraxall," Memoirs of his own Time," 1836, ii. 93-94, and Nos. XXX., XXXIII., XLIX., LI.

Boyd has been described as "an admirer of Junius, and vain enough to wish to be thought the author.

As to Macaulay Boyd's being the author of Junius's Letters, it is a perfect joke; no two characters can be more perfectly unlike than Boyd and Junius.—BUTLER, "Reminiscences," i. 84.

Burke, Rt. Hon. Edmund. b. 1728; d. 1797.

Bishop Markham, an early friend and patron of Burke, taxed the latter with the authorship of the "Letters," telling him that his house was a "nest of adders." Although Burke never made any positive denial to this imputation, he certainly disavowed any connection with Junius,

on three distinct occasions. Firstly, he said to Charles Townshend, "I give you my word and honour that I am not the author of Junius.". See Burke's "Correspondence," by Lord Fitzwilliam, i. 269-275. Secondly, he positively denied the imputed authorship, on being ques tioned by Sir William Draper; and lastly, he made a denial to Johnson, when he said, "I could not if I would, and I would not if I could." See Boswell's "Johnson," iv., for the detailed circumstances.

It seems somewhat strange, however, that Burke should have been so generally suspected as the author. That such was the case, nevertheless, is obvious, not only from the opinion at first entertained by Sir William Draper, but from various public accusations conveyed in the periodicals of the day. The letter of Zeno in the "Public Advertiser," dated Oct. 15, 1771, is addressed" to Junius, alias Edmund the Jesuit of St. Omer's.'

"

LXXXVI.

Burke, William. See No. LXXXVI. Butler, John, Bishop of Hereford. d. 1802.

Butler was secretary to the Rt. Hon. Bilson Legge, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Wilkes is said to have suspected him as the author. Butler, however, was a man of no political courage, and his works lack the fire which character. ize the "Letters." His claims are discussed in Dr. Good's Essay, in the edition published in 1814. Camden, Charles, Lord. b. 1713; d. 1794.

It appears almost ludicrous to note that the great Lord Camden was suspected, simply on the ground of his dislike to the law and politics of Chief Justice Mansfield. — WADE.

De Lolme, John Lewis. b. 1745 (?); d. 1807.

De Lolme's claims are advocated in Dr. Busby's work (see No. XLVI.), but it must be remem. bered that he only arrived in England in 1769. He is the author of an elegantly written "Essay on the English Constitution," which is quoted by Junius.

Dunning, Ashburton.

John, afterwards Lord b. 1731; d. 1783.

The soul of Junius is, as we conjecture, commemorated in the picture exhibited in Sir Joshua Reynold's gallery, representing Lord Shelburne of Junius's day, Mr. Dunning, and Colonel Barré of parliamentary fame, in conference. - JAQUES, p. 141. (See Barré, ante.)

Heron espouses the claims of Dunning, and Britton includes him among his claimants; but a very strong point against him is the fact that he was appointed solicitor-general in December, 1767, and held that office until March, 1770. Hence, admitting that he was Junius, the famous letter to the king," in December, 1769, must have proceeded from his Majesty's own solicitorgeneral! The Earl of Shelburne, who was intimately acquainted with Dunning, often declared that the latter did not "write a line of Junius."

Dyer, Samuel. b. 1725; d. 1772.

Dyer is referred to in Malone's "Life of Dryden," as "a man of excellent taste and profound erudition, whose principal literary work, under a Roman signature, when the veil with which for near thirty-six years it has been enveloped shall be removed, will place him in a high rank

among English writers, and transmit a name now little known, with distinguished lustre to posterity."

Malone held the opinion that if Barke did not write the Letters, they were at least written by some one who had received considerable aid from Burke in composing them. It is said that upon Dyer's death, Burke obtained and destroyed all the papers which he had left behind him.

Malone strongly favored the claims of Dyer, but it must be remembered that this claimant was a very old man at the time when these letters appeared, a fact inconsistent with the vigor and fire they exhibit.

See also Dr. Good's Essay, and "Notes and Queries," 2d Ser., ix. 261.

Flood, Henry. b. 1732; d. 1791.

For extensive criticisms in favor of and against the claims of this Irish orator, the reader is referred to Dr. Good's Essay, Wade i. 79 (No. LXXVII.), and "Notes and Queries," 2d Ser., viii. 101, 189, 259.

Francis, Sir Philip. b. 1740; d. 1818. The external evidence is, we think, such as would support a verdict in a civil, nay, in a criminal proceeding. The handwriting of Junius is the very peculiar handwriting of Francis, slightly disguised. As to the position, pursuits, and connections of Junius, the following are the most important facts which can be considered as clearly proved: First, that he was acquainted with the technical forms of the secretary of state's office; secondly, that he was intimately acquainted with the business of the War-office; thirdly, that he, during the year 1770, attended debates in the House of Lords, and took notes of speeches, particularly of the speeches of Lord Chatham; fourthly, that he bitterly resented the appointment of Mr. Chamier to the place of deputy-secretary of war; fifthly, that he was bound by some strong tie to the first Lord Holland. Now, Francis passed some years in the secretary of state's oflice. He was subsequently chief clerk of the War-office. He repeatedly mentioned that he had himself, in 1770, heard speeches of Lord Chatham; and some of these speeches were actually printed from his notes. He resigned his clerkship at the War-office from resentment at the appointment of Mr. Chamier. It was by Lord Holland that he was first introduced into the public service. Now, here are five marks, all of which ought to be found in Junius. They are all five found in Francis. We do not believe that more than two of them can be found in any other person whatever. If this argument does not settle the question, there is an end of all reasoning on circumstantial evidence. MACAULAY.

My own impression is that the "Letters of Junius " were written by Sir Philip Francis. In a speech which I once heard him deliver at the Mansion House, concerning the partition of Poland, I had a striking proof that Francis possessed no ordinary powers of eloquence. - ROGERS, "Table Talk," p. 272.

I have inserted the foregoing quotations, to indicate what has been said in favor of Francis' claims; if the reader is curious enough to pursue the subject more extensively, he will find a chapter on the disputed question in the "Memoirs of Sir Philip Francis," by Parkes and Merivale, L. 1867, i. 223-303. See also Taylor's works, Nos. XL. and XLVIII.; Wade, ii. xxx.-xc., No. LXXVII.; "Notes and Queries," 1st Ser., xi. 117, and Nos. LIV., LVI., LVII., LXXVIII., XC.

The following letter, taken from the "Athenæum,' ," March 16, 1861, may be of interest in this place:

We know that Sir P. Francis often gave obscure hints as to his authorship of Junius. think that by the words," Stat nominis umbra,” be meant to indicate that Junius was the son of Francis. This may seem far-fetched; but what other explanation of the motto can you give? My explanation is that he meant to establish a claim to the authorship, without being forced to make that claim; which, in fact, he never had the courage to do. N. W. SENIOR.

Taylor, in Woodfall's edition of 1812, was the first person who fixed upon Francis as the author; but he fell into one of the snares which Junius had adroitly laid for enquirers. Misled "by one of those well-contrived feints that were meant to mislead," Mr. Taylor inferred that Junius must be a person of advanced years, and fixed upen the Rev. Philip Francis, the father of Sir Philip, as the author. The elder Francis was a fine classical scholar, celebrated for his masterly translations of Horace and Demosthenes; but when Mr. Taylor discovered him to be ten years older than he had at first been led to believe, he devoted all his attention toward proving the claims of the younger man, and embodied his researches in a subsequent volume.

ADVERSE CRITICISMS UPON FRANCIS' CLAIMS.

Sir Nathaniel Wraxall is convinced that Sir Philip Francis was the author of Junius. I do not yet believe it. He was too vain a man to let the secret die with him.- SIR EGERTON BRYDGES' "Notes on Wraxall's Memoirs."

I persist in thinking that neither Mr. Burke nor Philip Francis was the author of the letters under the signature of Junius. I think the mind of the first so superior, and the mind of the latter so inferior, to that of Junius, as to put the supposition that either of them was Junius wholly out of the question. - MR. CHARLES BUTLER'S Letter to Mr. E. H. Barker, June 14, 1828.

We must all grant that a strong case has been made out for Francis; but I could set up very stout objections to those claims. It was not in his nature to keep a secret. He would have told it from vanity, or from his courage, or from his patriotism. His bitterness, his vivacity, his acuteness, are stamped, in characters very peculiar, upon many publications that bear his name; and very faint indeed is their resemblance to the spirit, and, in an extended sense of the word, to the style, of Junius. - DR. PARR.

With reference to the claims of Sir Philip, I am inclined to use the form of argument called a "dilemma." Thus, if Sir Philip Francis was the author of the letters, he was a scurrilous libeller; if he was not, he was splendide mendax,— utrum horum mavis accipe. —JOHN WILKINS, in 1865.

Francis' claims are also adversely discussed in Fellows' "The Posthumous Works of Junius," No. LXVII.; Jaques, p. 173, No. LXXV.; "Notes and Queries," 2d Ser., vi. 43; 3d Ser., viii. 183,
