"At the time when the 'Letters' appeared, pamphlets abounded, fixing their authoiship, to the perfect satisfaction of each pamphleteer, upon every public man, the ' G-cnt. Mag ' opened its columns to suggestions, and was tilled with them; in 1824, the 'Monthly Magazine' renewed the sub]ect; in 1837, pamphlets again appeared, with fiesh lights, which flickered and went out; and lately, 'Notes and Queues' has woiked like a mole on the subject; but they all have been gropings in the dark. We believe the ' Letters ' have been fathered, with a greater or less degree of confidence, upon upwards of foity public characters The most favoured were Sir Philip Francis, Lord Lyttelton, Colonel Barre", Burke, J Dunning (afterwards Lord Ashbur- ton), Chatham, Dr. Wilmott, Hugh Boyd, Wilkes, Home Tooke, Lord George Sackville, Governor Pownall, Sir. G- Jackson, Maclean, and Dr. Sidney Swwmcy The wildest conjec- tures have gained believers, and there have been madmen to lay them to George III, a Captain Allen, Suett the comedian, Combe (the author of *Dr. Syntax'), Bickcrton, an eccentiic Oxo- nian, and an utterly unknown Mr. Jones. "Who this famous writer was, will bo a question asked by generations to follow us." See ANDBEWS'S JSntish Journalism, Vol. I., p. 185.

" Numerous were the disputants who, emulat- ing the fame of Junius, now rushed into the lists with high-sounding Roman names Maicus Antonms, Scipio, Brutus, Cato, Valerias, Vir- ginius, played the buffoon in the 'Evening Post,' and thought they were dividing the lauiels -with the great gladiator of the ' Public Advertiser ' ; but they were Komans only in name, Q-rub- etreot claimed them for its own. Crabbe has had his laugh at them in his poem of 'The News- paper':

" 'These Roman souls, like Rome's great sons,

aie known To live in cells on labours of their own ;

Thus Mi'o, could we see tho noble chief, FeeUb, 101 Jbis countiy's good, on letja ol beef, Camillas copies deeds for soiclid pay. Yet lights the public battles t\\ ice a UAJ ' E'en ncn\, the godlike Urutus views his seoie Scioll'd on the bar botud, swinging with the

door, Wheie, tippling punch, gi.ivc Gate's self you'll

see, And Amoi Patila vending smuggled tea ' "
