LIE IDENTIFY or JuNlUs AND Sir
PHILIP FRANCIS Fully EsrAB
LlSllED.
Tho conclusive proof Of the
identity Of Francis aud Junius is
as follows:
Upon the publication OF tho fac
Smiles Of the famous "fcigncd
hand" Of Juuius, u Mrs. King
(nee Gilcs,) Of Youngsbury in Es,
seS' at onco recognized it as the
handwriting of au anonymous
noto which sho had received in
ITO at Bath, with Il copy OF vcr-
scs enclosed writtcn in n different
aud unknown hand. From va
rlous circumstances, she had al
ways believed aud stated that this
note camc from Philip Francis;
but as tho evidence on that point
was not satisfactory, the story at
tracted no great attention. Up-
on tho publication Of tho "Iite of
Sir Philip Francis," about two
years ago, however, two liucs Of
the verses in question were found
quoted in Il letter from Richard
TilE hman, Of Philadelphia, (cIdcr
brother of tho late Chief Justice
Ti'ghman) TO Francis, dated Sep
tember 20, 1873, in II manner
plainly implying that Francis
would rccoguizc them. This Tod
TO removed examination Of tho
original papers, when it, was found
that the copy Of vcrscs ,cax in
1m,.t,fghma"'s annd'Vriting! Now,
,ll'G3''nan, rs appears from the
life Of Francis," while law stu
dcnt IN tho Temple in 17G9 and
iT70-lho two most important
years Of tho Junius pcrio,l-was
tho intimate friend of Francis,
who was his near relation, and
WAS with him at Bath at tho time
tho verses wero delivered. Those
facts led TO most curcfnl cXnmi-
nation, by tho first experts in
London. of tho original noto in
which tho vorsos were cnvelopod,
and they unhcsitatingly pronounce
it to be, beyond all doubt, written
in tho "feigncd hand" Of Junius.
II follows that Junius was the
writer Of the note. Ills friend
Tilghman wrote tho verses (no
doubt copied thom for Francis y
and when, three years allerwnrd,
wo find him quoting the verses in
a letter to Francis, tho conclusion
is irrcprcssiblc that ono Of the two
wrote the noto which cnvclopcd
them. But tho writer Of tho note
was Junius, which Tilghman could
not havo been, because, among II
thousand othor reasons, the Junius
letters began before his arrival in
England, and continued attor his
return TO America. 1t follows,
therefore, that Francis was the
writer and thus, after tho secret
has boon kept in impcnctrabIo
mystcry for just II century, IL triv-
ial accident has led to its discov-
cry and TO the absolute dcmon-
stration that Francis was Junius.
Wo may add that wo lnvc our
selves compared tho fac SMILES
Of tho noto with those Of the
fcigned hand Of Junius, and that
Of tho verses with numerous con.
tomporaneons letters Of Tilghmun
now in the possession Of his rcIa-
tons in this city, and VIC concur
in the opinion Of tho london OK
perts that there cannot DO n doubt
Of tho identity IN either case.
