Add to basket2 vols. pp.xxxv+274; v+[i]+318+[2, ads]. Contemporary mottled calf, spines framed with gilt border, smooth spines with gilt decoration and two black morocco labels, marbled endpapers and edges. Engraved title-page dated dated 1797. 2 engraved titles, 21 engraved portraits (including 2 frontispieces), and 69 vignettes (some repea…ts). Upper joint starting and with tiny hole, others a bit tender, generally a beautifully bound set in very good condition. A handsome set of these controversial political letterse which in the past have been attributed to Burke, Paine, and Franklin. The letters of "Junius," originally appearing in the "Public Advertiser" from November of 1768 to January of 1772, represent one of the great mysteries of English literature. No author ever claimed credit for these letters, though they were ascribed to every prominent Whig of the period. Sir Philip Francis (1740-1818), who was a clerk in the War Office when the "Junius" letters were written, is generally considered to be the mystery writer, though he denied this association to the end of his life. This edition prints Junius's "Dedication to the English Nation", boldly stating support for republicanism and freedom of the press. Junius's letters are now considered "a classic of English political commentary" characterised by "high Whig philosophy" combined with "one of the most effective uses of slanderous polemic ever employed" (ODNB) in attacking the policies of George III and his government under the Duke of Grafton and Lord North.

Add to basketUniform matching hard back binding in nineteenth century half dark green leather with wide fold-ins, the spine divided into six panels, lettered in the second and fourth, tooling to the others, dated at the foot, tea green cloth sides, all page edges gilt, pale blue and rose marble paper end sheets. 8vo. 8½'' x 5½''. Junius was…the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of political letters critical of the government of King George III to the Public Advertiser, from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772 as well as several other London newspapers such as the London Evening Post. The collection of private and open letters were from an anonymous polemicist (Junius) claimed by some to be Philip Francis, as well as other letters in-reply from people to whom Junius had written between 1769 and 1772. The collection was published in two volumes in 1772 by Henry Sampson Woodfall, the owner and editor of a London newspaper, the Public Advertiser. The collection includes 69 letters, 29 to the Printer of the Public Advertiser originally intended for public readership, with the remaining 40 to individuals, then made public. It included letters written by Philo Junius, who, some say, was Junius himself. Contains Engraved title pages (xl), 325; 366 pp with 15 full-page monochrome historical figure engravings. The engravings are without tissue papers and have left off-setting to the text block opposite, sun darkening of the leather down the spines. Interesting newspaper article from the 'Leeds Mercury' of April 24th 1901 concerning 'The Household of Junius'.
