Junius Discovered (1854)

Book Overview

Junius Discovered is a book written by Frederick Griffin and published in 1854. The book is a historical investigation into the identity of the anonymous political writer known as Junius, who wrote a series of letters attacking the British government and its policies in the 18th century. Griffin's book presents evidence and arguments that suggest Junius was in fact Sir Philip Francis, a prominent politician and writer of the time. The book draws on a range of historical sources and contemporary accounts of the Junius letters to build a compelling case for this theory. The book also provides a detailed analysis of the political and social context of the time, exploring the tensions and conflicts that gave rise to Junius's writings. Griffin argues that Junius's letters were not just a series of isolated attacks on the government, but a coherent and sustained critique of the political and social order of the time. Overall, Junius Discovered is a fascinating and insightful exploration of one of the most intriguing mysteries of British political history. It offers a detailed and persuasive argument for the identity of Junius, and sheds new light on the political and social context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
