JUNIUS, LETTERS OF

JUNIUS, LETTERS OF
   seventy letters on public affairs which appeared under that signature in the Public Advertiser 1769 to 1772, and were with others reprinted in book form; were, though severe in tone, the prototype of the modern leading article. Their authorship has never been discovered; but some hold that evidence points to Sir Philip Francis as responsible for them.

The Nuttall Encyclopaedia. . 1907.
