Who Was Junius A Question That Still Baffles Historians
The piece weighs two main candidates Sir Philip Francis and Lord George Sackville as the author of Junius. It weighs internal and external evidence, notes Francis’s stronger claim, and recounts how Francis plausibly authored the famous Letters, including his ties to Chatham and the War Office, and Junius’s fierce early assaults on the King and ministers.
