In the beginning Of the year l773 in
consequence of the disappointment Of
his hopes of preferment and the deranged
state of his pecunialy affairs, he withdrew
from London, and determined to spend the
remainder of his days in the greatest retire
ment Abon 1871 ne was presented by his
college to the Rectory of Barton on the
Heath, and TO Audcester by Lord Warwick
which gave him agentee living to the day
OF his death. in January 1907. He was me-
YER married seven years before his death
he was deprived Of his sight. About two
wears before his death he commended and
superintemied though bin general con-
hagIation of bis papers. Yet some OF them
were preserved as il would seem without
his knowledge, and from them is derived the
evidence of his having been the writer Of
Junius this evidence is detailed in his life
written and just published by his neice, Mrs
Olivia Wimot Series. II is not perfectly
conclusive, yet il is such as to RENDER its j.
| IDENTIFY of her uncle with the real Junius ex
/ tremeIy probable. She has promised TO
bring some further proof and to publish f.
pished edition of the author of the letters OF
! Junius."
We arc not aware that she ever per-
! formed her promise OF exhibiting the
further proof which she alledgpd was
in her possession, and sinre the date
of her publication several other claim
ants have appeared with perhaps equal
pretcnsions. to dispute with her the ii
lie which she sets up for her uncle, to
be acknowledged as Innins. Ii,ia now
comes forward in Il new character, aud
claims to be received as The legitimate
grand daughter of king. 1t is of very
little consequence to any one but to her
self, whether her claim is well founded
or not. The following papers are pub
lished AS the documents by which she
supports her claim.

com and, that the birth of Olivia, the
Duke of CumberIand's daughter. is not
to be made known to the nation during
