Edmund the Jesuit and Junius authorship theories debated
The piece argues two main reasons identifying Edmund as Junius, comparing stylistic cues with his known works such as Vindication of Natural Society and Thoughts on the present Cause of Discontents. It cites Irish hints, a persisting critique of the Duke of Grafton, and Edmund's career path from scribbler to politician, with a concluding moral about natural beauty over fashion.
