About Junius







Did you know about Junius?

[citation needed] It is taken from Letter XLIX to the duke of Grafton 22 June 1771:

"The profound respect I bear to the gracious prince who governs this country with no less honour to himself than satisfaction to his subjects and who restores you to your rank under his standard will save you from a multitude of reproaches. Even the cowardice and perfidy of deserting him may have done you no disservice in his esteem. In that year he revised the collection named Junius: Stat nominis umbra with a dedication to the English people and a preface.

These and numerous other personal letters were not included in his Letters of Junius collection publiJuniusd in 1772. Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of letters to the Public Advertiser from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772.
