Synopsis
Excerpt from A Note on the "Junius" Controversy
Another writer who supported the anti-franciscan view was the late Mr. Abraham Hayward.1 It is to him that refer the remarks I have already quoted on the needless bitterness with which the controversy has been carried on. By him, says Mr. Stephen, a Franciscan was always mentioned in terms such as a severe theologian might apply to a Muggletonian, or others to an ignorant and perverse fool. In all cases Hayward writes in the dashing, self-confident fashion of a Quarterly reviewer; and though, doubt less, many of his criticisms are sound and many of his objections ingenious, it is true also that a large proportion of his assertions are assertions only, and unsupported by valid evidence.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the long-standing debate over the true identity of Junius, the anonymous author of a series of influential political letters. The author presents several lines of argument in favor of the theory that Philip Francis, a prominent figure in British politics during the late 18th century, was the man behind the pseudonym. The book examines evidence from handwriting analysis, spelling patterns, personal connections, and literary style to support this claim. While acknowledging opposing viewpoints, the author offers a compelling case for Francis's authorship, shedding new light on one of the most enduring mysteries in English literature. The book's in-depth analysis and fresh insights make it an essential read for anyone interested in the history, politics, and literature of the period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
