Junius Finally Discovered (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Junius Finally Discovered

I hope that my readers will observe that almost every proposition laid down by me is sustained by facts, and by history, in which the books and pages are cited. That I rarely volunteer an Opinion of my own, unless it is amply supported by historical facts, or corroborated by well-known authors and able critics. If the reader will examine the books of Mr. Taylor and H. R. Francis, frequently referred to in this discussion, wherein they contend that Sir Philip Francis was the author of the Junius Letters, he will discover that almost every one of their propositions is founded upon their own opinions, surmises and conjectures, without any facts or history to sustain them; the reason Why, is very evident: there were no facts or history in existence which tended to prove their contention. It is impossible to prove a fact which does not exist.
