sm, brilliant metaphor, and fierce personal attack. The government and those interested in the matter tried in vain to ascertain the name of the author. It was evident that he was a man of wealth and refinement, and possessing access to minute information respecting ministerial measures and intrigues. The most eminent legal advisers of the crown tried in vain to get a clew to the secret of his identity; and the mystery which has ever since enveloped the name of the author of the letters of Junius has kept up an interest in them, which, because of the remoteness of their topics, could not otherwise have been kept alive. Some afterwards claimed their authorship, but without a particle of proof in favor of the claim. The names of more than fifty persons have been mentioned as the suspected authors. An array of facts, circumstances, and fair inferences has satisfied the most careful inquirers that Sir Philip Francis was Junius. The letters were chiefly written between 1769 and 1772.

adings, and have been reading what I had not read before. The day the copies were on sale two were purchased, —one by Sutton Sharpe and the other by Joseph Parkes, the Birmingham Solicitor. The latter I know quite well; Joseph Parkes, 1796-1865. He was first a solicitor at Birmingham; removed to London in 1832, and was taxing master of the Court of Exchequer from 1847 until his death. He published a History of the Court of Chancery, and was a writer for Reviews. The Memoirs of Sir Philip Francis, with Correspondence and Journals, published in 1867, was commenced by him, and completed after his death by Herman Merivale. He was much trusted in the councils of reformers. Sumner, who bore a letter to him from John Neal, was indebted to him for several of his best introductions,—as to Brougham, Charles Austin, the Montagus, and Cobden. he is an able fellow. You will receive this in the middle of a hot month. It will be a good afternoon's work to go through it. William will be

52, was Lady Mary Matilda Georgiana, a daughter of the sixth Earl of Carlisle, and sister of Sumner's friend, Lord Morpeth. His visit to this country has been mentioned already, ante, p. 305. Sumner visited Lord Taunton in July, 1857, at his seat at Stoke. whom I met at his Lordship's table, spoke of his work as the history of the period. I passed three days at Lord Wharncliffe's,— one day longer than I intended to stay. If I had not passed this day at Wortley Hall, I should have met Lady Francis, the widow of Sir Philip, at Wentworth. As ever, affectionately yours, Chas. Sumner. To George S. Hillard. Fairfield Lodge, near York, Oct. 27, 1838. my dear Hillard,—It was only last night that I wrote you from Wentworth House. I failed, doubtless, to give you an idea of that immense establishment, where you find persons of every trade,—a baker, with his rooms and apparatus; a confectioner; a butcher; a brewer; and, of course, his majesty the cook.

he learned all the history of the French Revolution through the drumming of an old French drummer. It is obvious enough that the relative proportions of printed matter do not precisely reflect absolute merit, because they are liable to be influenced by trivial considerations, apart from personal qualities. The Man in the Iron Mask was not necessarily a great man because he occasioned an extensive literature; and Junius fills the library as an inexhaustible conundrum, whereas plain Sir Philip Francis might never have elicited even a biography. Had Shelley been the contented husband of one wife, or had Poe selected any one city to dwell in and dwelt there, it is certain that the Shelley literature and the Poe literature would have been far slenderer in dimensions, though the genius of the poets might have remained the same. It is the personal qualities, in such cases, that multiply the publications, though it is quite true, on the other side, that Poe might have lived unnoticed in

I wish to conciliate the Americans, and to restore harmony to the two countries, said Lord North; but I will never be intimidated by the threats nor compelled by the combinations of the Colonies to make unreasonable or impolitic concessions. So the next order of the day was called for by a vote of eighty to fifty-two. The news of the Boston Massacre Sir Philip Francis to Calcraft, 21 April, 1770. reached England at a time when the Legislature of Massachusetts was solemnly declaring, that the keeping a standing army in the Colony, in a time of peace, without its consent, was against law.

ook to publish the Parliamentary Debates. Taylor, the author of "Junius Identified," says Sir Philip Francis, furnished these same speeches of Lord Chatham, the parts quoted by Junius being identifiee, could never have had time to report them. If Henry Sampson Woodfall ever suspected Sir Philip Francis of being Junius, it is very certain that he never told his suspicions to any one, even to r were then first known to be by Junius. At the time of this publication, nobody suspected Sir Philip Francis. Immediately after (in 1813) Taylor published a book to prove that Junius was Dr. Francis,Dr. Francis, the father of Sir Philip. In 1816 he published his "Junius Identified" for the first time, designating Sir Philip himself as the author.--This book exhausted the subject. Nothing new has been added all, we believe, of any note, and by none of them has even hinted that Woodfall suspected Sir Philip Francis, or that any body else did until the appearance of Taylor's book.
