Junius Discovered is a historical book written by Frederick Griffin in 1854. The book explores the mystery of the authorship of the Junius Letters, which were a series of anonymous letters published in the Public Advertiser newspaper in London between 1769 and 1772. The letters were highly critical of the government and its policies, and their authorship has remained a mystery for centuries.In this book, Griffin presents his theory that the author of the Junius Letters was Sir Philip Francis, a British politician and member of parliament. Griffin provides evidence to support his theory, including comparisons of the writing styles of Francis and the Junius Letters, as well as historical events that suggest Francis had the motive and opportunity to write the letters.The book also includes a detailed analysis of the Junius Letters themselves, examining their political and social significance and their impact on British society at the time. Griffin's work provides a fascinating insight into the politics and culture of 18th century Britain, as well as shedding light on one of the most enduring mysteries in English literature. Overall, Junius Discovered is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
