Book Description
Excerpt from Junius Lord Chatham, and the Miscellaneous Letters Proved to Be Spurious This is not a new edition of An Attempt to prove that Lord Chatham was J unius, published by me in 1830, but a new work, containing, certainly, the same line of argument, but supported, I trust, by a considerable body of additional evidence. In my title-page I have assumed what some may deem a bold position. I say J unius was Lord. Chatham. Let the question be judged by what I have placed on record. I ask no more. But should I have failed in establishing my case to the satisfaction of any of my readers, I think I may confidently claim the credit of having detected, beyond question or cavil, the spuriousness of the Miscellaneous Letters, and in doing this have at least brushed away from the memory of a great man a mass of deformity and absurdity. That Lord Chatham was capable of writing the Letters of J unius, must be conceded that his general style and tone of thinking were the same as those of Junius, cannot be rationally denied; that he was in a position to acquire the peculiar information with which his letters abound, must be admitted by all who know any thing of Chatham and the history of the period in which he flourished 5 that he had motives for anger, and provocations to violence, no one will venture to dispute.

Book Description
Excerpt from Junius Letters: The Author-Mystery Cleared Junius tells us that "he is the sole depository of his own secret, and that it should perish with him," yet secrets have been revealed and hard things understood. The burial of this secret body took place in the eighteenth century, and is now raised again in the twentieth, and soon all men will hear of it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Junius, Vol. 2: Including Letters by the Same Writer Under Other Signatures; Containing the Private and Miscellaneous Letters, and a New Essay on the Authorship In the appendix, with other elucidatory papers, will be found the letters privately addressed to the Earl of Chatham by Junius, and recently brought to light in the Chatham Correspondence. But the subject in which the reader is likely to feel most interested is the identification of the author. The editor has pursued this inquiry to considerable length, under favourable auspices; he has not only been aided by the labours of numerous preceding investigators, but has conversed on the subject with several distinguished living individuals who were intimately acquainted with the remarkable person whom it seems now fair to acknowledge as Junius. He has also had the advantage of receiving much valuable information from the members and descendants of Sir Philip's family. From the courtesy and readiness with which his inquiries have been met, the impression appears to have become general, even among those most nearly concerned, that all motives for concealment have ceased, and that the time has arrived when a full disclosure may be made, without the compromise of any feeling, interest, or obligation. In our Preface to the first volume, we promised to include, in the second, an Analysis drawn up by Sir Harris Nicolas; it therefore becomes necessary to explain why this is now omitted. It has been found, after a careful and minute examination of a mass of papers, greater in bulk than even the letters they are intended to illustrate, that no deductions are made, no conclusions drawn. They are mere materials, without any direct tendency, and could only be useful, or in the least degree interesting, in the event of further investigation, should any one still think the question not finally disposed of.
