Item description from seller

Original publisher's brown leather binding with gilt lettering on spine. 3" x 5 3/8." 340 pages, complete. "Printed by D. & G. Bruce." is printed on Page 340. "Printed for M. Carey, Philadelphia, and E. Sargeant, New-York" is printed on the title page. Former ownership signatures are on the front endpaper. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Binding is tight. This book is a collection of letters critical of the government of King George III that were originally published between 1769 and 1772. Junius is the pseudonym of the book's anonymous writer, although many today believe Junius was Philip Francis (1740-1818), an Irish-born British politician and member of the Whig Party. Three people, none of whom were Francis, were tried and convicted in connection to the publication for seditious libel, but of those people, two went free and one was convicted but appears to have received no punishment. The Letters of Junius also contains letters in response to people who had written Junius between 1769 and 1772.…
