Xeiepooaa (A Ihe Authorship of tne Famous Junius Letters Traced to Sir Philip Francis HIS HANDWRITING IDENTIFIED An American Figure# in Iho Great Con spiracy Which Attacked English Public Men Anonymously and Caused a Sensation. From tbe Now York World. Wht^ wrote the Iunfits letters? That Is a question which has agitated the literary and historical worlds for more tliau a century. Tho authorship of these famous tetters 1ms been re garded as one of the great uusolrablc mysteries like the personality of the Man In the Iron Mask and the fate of Louis XVII. It seems now, however, after the lapse of more than 123 years, that discoveries made In ilnglaud with in the past few weeks, together with tlie work of an expert in handwriting, have settled tho matter boyond a doubt. Curiously enough, an American la brought Into the plot whereby the au thorship of the letters was concealed, and It seems by no moults impossible that some of die letters were written in this country and sent across tho At lantic, although their real author, while employing nu American kinsman as un amanuensis, remained in England. The ilrst letter hearing the signature of Junius made Its appearance in the Public Advertiser In England for No vember 21, 17tJS, but it was not until the following January that tho regular series of political attacks over this 'sig nature commenced with an assault on. the characters of die Duke of Grafton and Lord North. Junius Irotisted that Ills identity woulu never ho discovered. •The letters, from the vigor anil clear ness of their stylo and tho bitterness with which they attacked eminent pub- llu men, attracted Instant attention. Junius, in bis opcnlug letter in Janu ary, 17(11), said of tho Duke of Grafton that “tho finances of a tuition sinking under Its debts have boon committed to a young nobleman nlrendy ruined by play," while Ixinl North was charac terized ns “an object of derision to his enemies anil of melancholy pity to his friends." HnrUly any name connected with the government escaped without irony or abuse. Tnis 'attack drew out a reply from Sir 'William Draper, In width he called upon Junius -to ask pardont of "Lord Gruntfby and tho whole kingdom 'or his abominable scandal." Letter fol lowed letter tot'twoen the two combat ants until appeared addressed directly to the prime minister, of whom it said: ’There Is Home’Jhing which distin guishes you, not only from a* other ministers, but from all other men. It is not 'than you do wrong by design, but that you should never do right by mistlake.” By the end of May tho Duke of Bedford was brought upon the scene to share in the prime minister’s abuse, and by the end of July Blackstone was directly attacked for his reflections on Grenville. It is tho original proofaheet of ’Uhls tetter, addressed to Dr. Block- stone. and corrected in the handwrit ing of Junius, .which has now contrib uted in a targe part to clearing up the mystery surrounding the authorship of the famous letters. Toward the middle of September, 1763, Junius addressed Iris first leltter to the Duke of Bedford, the Inheritor of a name “glorious til' It was yours." By thfa time the Junius letters were the talk of the kingdom, and eminent men In the government bad been carefully watching them as they appeared for a chance to Inaugu rate legal proceedings which should re veal Hie author and put him in their power. This chance arose.December 1?, 1769, when 'the famous “tetter to the king” appeared. It was addressed directly to his majesty. The printers and publish ers of the paper were Instantly arrest ed. Upon the trial, however, they were unable to 'tell who wrote the letters, Which came to them unonymohsly, and Uhe Jury brought In a verdict of guilty of publishing only." The conduct of Lord Minefield on this occasion laid him open to the attacks of «h* ttony- mous writer, and in November, 1770, Junius opened on hhn with peculiar bitterness, saying: "No learned man, even among your own -tribe,'thinks you qualified 'ta preside in a court ot com mon law.” A year later he attacked Lord Mansfield again for 'having bailed one Jane Eyre, and on January 21, 1772. Junius last tetter appeared, in proof or bis assertion that on dhis occasion Lord Mansfield had done “that -which by law he was not warranted to do.” The letter to Blackstone, with the ad ditions end corrections, appeared in this form when it was first published. There was no possible way. Judging from the testimony of printer, and publishers ot the trial. In which 81r Philip Francis could have a-twseseed himself of n preofsheet otf one of the letters before its publication unless he was In fact Junius. The fact of hi* undoubted handwriting toting upon the prpbf.heet alontr with the corrections of the au thor, stamp- him, In the mind of Mr. Inglls, England’s greatest e*P«rt *s Ju nius, But -Mr. Inglls ha. established this In another manner. He has shown that the note which accompanied the verse sent to “Belinda” at Bath was It* the'handwriting of Junius. He ha. shown a.hut the versos encloied at that time wore in a disguised handwriting bf Ttlghimn. who he proved bo have ndteil ns -the amanuensis of Sr Philip Franois. and be has also shown that Frauds was the author of the verses and kept the original copy, which was ■wrltt-m on piper Identical In texture arvl wafter-krark wltn that upon whlrh tbe note and the verse* were written. The manner in which Franc!.', copy of these verse* came to be preserved Is peculiar. Some yeans subsequent to ehcdr authorship. Sir Philip Francis, who seems to have been a great admir er of the fair sex. married Miss Emma Wdtklns a* his second wife. During their court*hip she naked Sir Philip In a mindly *4y whether he had any •specimens of his youthful poetry. In reply he sent her three sets of verses, one of-which was tho poetry Inspired u*. Bath by Miss Giles, or "Belinda.’’ This la the copy which Lady Frauds gave before her death to 71. R. Francis and by means of which Mr. Inglls his now been able to directly connect Junius with Sir Philip Francis. H. R.Francis, the Author of the work, is a surviving grand-m of Sir Philip IVancIs, and In “Junius Revealed’’ lie attempted to prove tbit Sir Philip was Junius. In this be only succeeded In making It seem more proboble tlnn ever that Sir Philip Francis was Ju nius, hot *» lo absolute proof there was ne-w The Incontrovertible evidence which alone could eetlle a dispute so long standing, end 111 which there were m.my i i» Hi clnin.'ints wi:ll mncli t-> be Add ou their behalf, aw* .ibogether wanting. This his now, it appears turned up. On Wednesday, June 27, C. C. Puller, a gentleman cranneeted with It English treasury, called at the house of Jlr. Francis, bringing with him two orig- ItMl document*. Mr. Puller !» a giout- grandson of d. hldy of whom Fir Philip Fmncls was an admirer and to whom lie addressed some verses at Bath lit 1770-71. At thtlir time StT Ph’iq. Fran cis was accompanied by n cousin named Tllghman. whose home was nt Pliila- .dalphla. Pa. One of the documents produced by sir. Puller showed tbe Bath veraea in -the hand of Mr. Tllgh- man. The other was the wrapper, with a brief note. In which the verses had been sent to the fair “Belinda.” lit was addressed In the hand of Junius. Not long before the death of the widow of Sir Philip Francis; his grandson bad received from her a copy or theso verses In the handwriting of Sir Philip Fronds. Upon the occasion of the visit to his house <f Mr. Puller, on June 27 of this year. Mr. Francis brought out his copy of the verses for the purpose of comparison. O. S. Inglls, who Is the leading English ex pert In hand-writing, was present at the time. He examined the three documents. Mr. Inglls made the surprising discovery that nil three were written on portions of thr frame paper. This was shown by the texture on-1 water-mark. Thus tho three documents written at Bath on tho same paper by Junius, Francis and Tllghinan were once more brought together after a lapse of 123 years. Mr. Inglls thereupon began a eerie* ot comparisons of hand writing In these and other documents which convinced him that Francis and Junius were one and the same person. Tho most important of these papers la a corrected proof sheet of Junius’ letter to Blackstone, bearing the handwriting r.f Sir William Francis. This is shown by three comparisons which Mr. Inglls has cleverly made. The -late at tlho head of the letter, “23 July, 1709,” was Inserted, after the typa was first set up. Mr. Inglls places this side by side with the date* of two authen tic letters of Francis written In tho same month of the same year, and an examina tion show* that they are all unquestiona bly In the same hand. But the corrections In tho letter to Blackstone wo* made in a different hand—that Is, tho handwri ting of Junius. This, however, was only a reigned handwriting, purposely disguised to want off suspicion, although Francis apparently was so careless as to allow the proof to go out of his possession bearing his natural handwriting in what Mr. Inglls -alls “Un obi iterated date.” The same paper contained Junius’ ap peal to Lord Camden, "In tho name of the English nation, to eland forth In defense of the laws of file country.” This letter wound up with the word: ”1 do not scru ple to nfllrni that In my Judgment Lord Mansfield Is tho very worst and most dangerous man In the kingdom. Thua for I have done my duty In endeavoring to bring him to punishment. But mine Is an Inferior ministerial office In tlia temple or Justice. I have bound the vic tim and dragged him to the altar.” The mystery of the authorship of these letters, which- a series of accidents has now. It appears, solved at last, was ea gerly discussed from the state of their first appearance. Uanlly a single promi nent statesman of tho tlmo who was not himself directly attacked by -Junius has wanted champions to assert hie claim to their production. Lord George Sackvllle, Darre, Grattan, Burke, Lori Loughbo rough, Gibbon, Lord Chatham, Sir Philip Francis, Lord Temple and many others havo all had their supporter*, dncsulilV, In Ida essay on Warren Hastings; Stsu- bpe. In his "History• of England;" Brit ton, Dllke, Lochy, Massey and many others have written on the subject, with out, In any way, settling tho controver sy. Only a few weeks ago Longmans, Green & Co. ot London published a book called "Junius Revealed," by H. R. Francis, which attempted a solution of the niys- tery.but failed in the effort. It was tho publication of this book, however, which has led to the discoveries which now, it Is believed, finally settlo the question who was Junius. Francis and his American couls, Tllgh- mcn, appear to have conducted- an elabo rate conspiracy, as each wrote a disguised hand, it Is probable that Tllghman tvas the only living man who knew that Sir Philip Francis was the much-sought Ju nius. and that Francis took him Into his confidence In order to curry on the de ception. Tllghman'* disguised hand was a clever Imitation of the natural writing of Francis. Mr. Inglls has shown that Tllghman sent to Francis In 1773 a copy of - the Hath verses and Identified the handwri ting with that of the copy of tho wimo verses sent to Miss Giles three years pre - vlously. Sir Philip Francis was bom In 17K> and died In 1818. He entered, when a young men* the Indian civil service, and was sent In iTH, subsoiui-nt to the publication of the Junius letters, to Bengal as a member of the new council appointed n- der the act of 1773. He distinguished him self by the violence of his opposition ta -Warren Hasting*. Returning to Eng- land In 1781, he entered parliament In 1764, where he Joined the opposition and stim ulated Impeachment of Hastings. He re ceived many favors from and lived on Intimate terms with many of those at tacked moat fiercely In the Junius let ters. MURDERER AND BIGAMIST. W. B.
