Finally, we require a proof of
ability, in 1770, to write the letters with their merits and defects.
Later writings, even when tinged with the admired Junian style,
are but poor evidence. Nor is the inferior quality of a man's
later productions an absolute bar to his claims. He may have
passed his prime.
Perhaps it is not too bold to say that the only claimant who
fulfils the majority of these conditions is Sir Philip Francis.
In his case, also, there are corroborative circumstances of weight;
and, although, with our present knowledge, we cannot definitely
state that he was the author of the letters, yet it is pretty clear
that he was concerned in their production. Sir Philip was an
Irishman, the son of that elder Philip Francis who was also a pam-
phleteer. He was born in Dublin on 22 October 1740, but was bred
in England at St Paul's school. In 1756, he obtained a clerkship
in the secretary of state's office, and accompanied Lord Kinnoul
on his embassy to Portugal in 1760. From 1762 to 1772, he held
the post of first clerk at the war office, which he resigned in
obscure circumstances only to be appointed a member of the
governor-general's council in India next year. His long feud
there with Hastings brought him into public notice, and, after his
return to England in 1781, he became the relentless engineer of the
prosecution of his enemy. Failure, however, alike attended these
efforts and his hopes of political office. He gave up, in 1807, the
seat in parliament which he had held from 1784. He survived to
see the claim put forward that he was the author of Junius; but he
died, without either admitting or denying the fact, on 23 December
1 Next to the Duke of Grafton, I verily believe that the blackest heart in the
kingdom belongs to Lord Barrington. ' Junius to Woodfall, Letter 61.

Theory

1818. He had married twice and left descendants by bis first
wife.
Though this career was not humdrum, yet the earlier part of it
by no means corresponded with the fancied importance of Junius,
and John Taylor, who declared for Francis's authorship in 1814,
showed an adventurous spirit in his thesis. Nevertheless, the
arguments he collected then, and those since added by his ad-
herents, form a strong array. The all-important handwriting has
been assigned to Francis by expert evidence; four or five Junian
seals were used by him, and, since Francis's undisguised hand
appears in a dating on the Junian proofs along with the feigned,
while the feigned hand directs the envelope of a copy of verses
dated 1771 and shown, by absolutely independent evidence', to
be of Francis's composition, it seems impossible to avoid the
conclusion that Francis was Junius's collaborator, if not Junius
himself. The same result is obtained from the facts that
Junius used, and vouched for, a report made by Francis of
one of Chatham's speeches in December 1770, and that an
unacknowledged Junian letter signed 'Phalaris' can hardly have
been written without Francis's cooperation, employing, as it does,
Francis's very words in a letter to Chatham? Again, Francis's
presence in London tallies remarkably with the dates of the
letters: When he is absent, Junius is silent. In less external
matters, Francis had that experience of the offices of war and
state which is marked in Junius. His politics were identical with
those of the libeller, and he was at the time engaged as a jackal
of the declining politician Calcraft, in the labour of effecting
a junction of Chatham and the Grenvilles. Calcraft and Lord
Temple, the latter a veteran patron of libellers, may well have
given him court intelligence not otherwise obtainable. Calcraft,
again, at the time of his death in 1772, was, obviously, under great
obligations to Francis for services rendered: he leaves him a
legacy and prescribes his nomination to a pocket-borough of
his own. If Junius's remorseless hatred of the duke of Grafton
1 The verses, copied out by Francis's cousin, Tilghman, and addressed in the
feigned Junian hand, were sent to a Miss Giles at Bath, in the winter of 1770—1.
Later, before this copy was the subject of investigation, Sir P. Francis gave his second
wife another copy, in his own hand and on a portion of the same sheet of paper
as Miss Giles's copy, among other specimens of his early verses.
2 See the article by Sir Leslie Stephen in The English Historical Review, April
1888. The letter to Chatham was sent through Calcraft.
3 Yet the evidence here is rather negative than positive. See Hayward, More about
Junius.

Political Literature (1755—75)
remains unexplained though some insult received by Francis in
the course of his official duties is an easy supposition—the fury he
manifests against Barrington in 1772 is in precise harmony with
the mysterious retirement of D'Oyly and Francis which partly
forms the theme of that attack. Then, the characters of Junius
and Francis markedly coincide. The same pride, the same fierce
hatreds, the same implacable revenge and the same good intention
towards the public interest meet us in both. Even the seeming
improbability of Junius's hostile reference to Calcraft is paralleled
by Francis's readiness, when piqued, to put the worst construction
on his friends. At the same time, a difficulty arises in the question
as to Francis's ability to write the letters. True, there are Junian
turns in his productions of later date. He shares that trait with
many writers, and, high though his reputation as a pamphleteer
was, we must admit that, if he was Junius in 1770, under his own
name in 1780 he was a cooling sun.
To sum up, the letters of Junius seem to be brought home to
a small group which included Calcraft, Francis and, perhaps, Lord
Temple? They passed through Francis's hands, and he is their
most likely author. He evidently wished to be thought so; but, if
he was, the malignant talent they displayed could only develop
in secrecy, or, perhaps, his prime was short. He remains in his
real character a pretender only, in his assumed, a shade: stat
nominis umbra.
In Junius, we have the culmination of a series of political
writings; but his merits and defects do not exhaust theirs. Abuse
and slander and political hatred are continually to be found in all.
These blameworthy features should not obscure the quantity of
solid facts and serious argument put forward for the public
information, in many able and honest pamphlets and letters. It
is easier for posterity than it was for the writers to judge of their
fairness and accuracy; not so easy, perhaps, to perceive that, with
their open discussion and criticism, they were the chief safeguards
of the responsibility of government to public opinion.
1 The explanation may lie hid in the lost Junian letter to the duke, signed • Lucius,'
and seen by Henry Bohn (Lowndes's Bibliographer's Manual, see bibliography).
2 Temple has even been claimed as the author of the Letters (Smith, W. J. , Grenville
Papers, see bibliography); but, beyond the facts that he, doubtless, approved their
purpose and was a patron of virulent pamphleteers and himself a pamphleteer, there
does not seem to be corroboration of this theory. It is true that Lady Temple's
handwriting had a strong resemblance to that of Junius. But Temple would hardly
have sent anonymous letters to his brother-in-law, Chatham, written in a hand which
the latter must have known well.
