IV. Some Miscellaneous Observations. Here end my researches in the history of Junius, and in conclusion I shall place before the reader three quotations, from which he can choose as he wishes, and endeavor to settle this knotty question to his own satisfaction.

The first is from the introductory epistle to Scott's "Fortunes of Nigel," in which the author says:

"A cause, however ingeniously pleaded, is not therefore gained. You may remember the neatly-wrought chain of circumstantial evidence so artificially brought forward to prove Sir Philip Francis's title to the Letters of Junius seemed at first irrefragible, yet the influence of the reasoning has passed away, and Junius, in the general opinion, is as much unknown as

"I've an hypothesis-'tis quite my own;
I never let it out till now, for fear
Of doing people harm about the throne,
And injuring some minister or peer
On whom the stigma might perhaps be blown;
It is my gentle public, lend thine ear!
"Tis, that what Junius we were wont to call
Was really, truly, nobody at all."

Lastly, I cannot refrain from quoting the excellent view of the influence of Junius' labors as depicted by Messrs. l'arkes and Merivale in their "Life of Sir Philip Francis," to wit:

"That Junius can only be described with truth as a political adventurer there is no doubt. It is plain enough that his own personal success in life was involved in that of the party whose cause he adopted, or, to speak still more accurately, in the fall of the party which he attacked. And it is equally true that he was utterly unscrupulous in his use of means; that his sincerity, even when he was sincere, was apt to assume the form of the most ignoble rancor, and that no ties of friendship, or party, or connection, seem to have restrained his virulence. All this is but too deducible from the published anonymous writings only... But when all this has been said, there remains a residue of a higher order, which must in justice to him be fairly weighed in the balance. Notwithstanding all his sins against justice and truth, Junius was assuredly actuated at bottom by a strong and ardent public spirit. He was throughout a genuine lover of his country. He was earnest in behalf of her honor and of her liberties. He saw clearly that her road to the accomplishment of a higher destiny lay through the maintenance of that honor and the extension of those liberties. He hated with an honest hatred the meanness of principle and venality of conduct which charac terized but too strongly the governments against

which he fought, and tarnished the political genius of his time. And very remarkable was the success which attended his struggle against them. Great indeed were the practical victories achieved by the efforts of this nameless, obscure agitator. Freedom of the press and the personal freedom of the subject owe probably more to the writings of Junius than to the eloquence of Chatham or Burke, the law of Camden and Dunning. It is not too much to say that after the appearance of those writings, a new tone on these great subjects is found to prevail in our political literature. Doctrines which had previ

ously met with almost general consent bocame exploded, truths which up to that time had been only timidly propounded were placed, in postJunian times, on the order of the day. It is no doubt very true that he was only fighting in the van of an advancing cause, and that these public benefits would as certainly have been secured to us if Junius had never written. But it is just as certain that America would have been discovered had Columbus never existed; yet no one, therefore, contests the greatness of Columbus or the obligations under which mankind lies towards him."

And with this ends the history and bibliography of Junius.
