Hard Cover. Condición: Poor. No Dust Jacket. New Edition. First Printing. Publisher's full leather. This is a later edition (1786) of the collected letters of "Junius," first published in 1772. "Junius' poured brilliantly slanderous invective upon Tory-minded English ministers, especially the Duke of Grafton, for a series of inconsistent measures which allegedly ruined England and drove the colonies 'into excesses little short of rebellion.' Vehement, lucid, frequently reprinted in English and colonial newspapers, the letters were polemical masterpieces with such extraordinary knowledge and appreciation of contemporary colonial opinion that they lent moral support to the early revolutionary cause. 'Junius' opposed the Tea Duty, but upheld the legality of the Stamp Act, and prophesied (Dec. 19, 1769) that the colonies aimed at independence" - Dictionary of American History. .

ESTC T11022. Much reprinted following their original appearance in the Public Advertiser, the Junius letters caused something of a sensation at the time for their outspoken attacks on a cosy establishment, and for their support for John Wilkes and the freedom of the press.

A collection of 69 letters critical of the government of King George III written by popular anonymous writer and polemicist Junius and published from 1769 to 1771. 29 are addressed to "the Printer of the Public Advertiser," a London newspaper, and the rest to individuals such as Sir William Blackstone and the Duke of Grafton (a frequent target). The first authorized publication as a set was in London in 1772, with many editions, both authorized and unauthorized, following. It resulted in the prosecution of the publisher, Henry Sampson Woodfall, for seditious libel; the jury found Woodfall guilty of publishing the Letters, but Lord Mansfield, the presiding judge, declared a mistrial and Woodfall escaped imprisonment.
