This volume, originally published in 1828, presents a detailed argument against the attribution of the famous "Junius Letters" to Sir Philip Francis. Edmund Henry Barker meticulously examines the evidence and style of writing to disprove Francis's claim to authorship. The book also includes an inquiry into the potential authorship of Charles Lloyd, and offers broader observations on the conduct, character, and style of the letters themselves.
A valuable resource for scholars of 18th-century British history and literature, this work delves into the intricate details of a long-standing literary and political mystery. Barker's analysis provides insights into the world of political intrigue and the power of anonymous writing in shaping public opinion. I. the Claims of Sir Philip Francis, K. B., to the Authorship of Junius's Letters, Disproved remains relevant for anyone interested in the history of political discourse and literary attribution.
