Junius. [LETTERS].
London Vernor & Hood, et. al. 1805 "A New Edition." Two volumes. xxxi, 252p; iii, 284p. Illustratedwith engraved portraits. Bound in full period red straight grained morocco with marbeled endpapers, a.e.g., the spines with gilt decorated flat panels, the covers with rich gilt borders form from repeating ornaments and lacy fill formed from dots. Some foxing, minor wear to joints and edges, lovely period bindings. A series of letters appeared in Henry Woodfall's Public Advertiser in 1769 under the pseudonym Junius. Letter no. 35 in the issue of 19 December was openly critical of the king and his policies. The letter was reprinted in various other papers during the next few days and created a considerable stir. Five printers and one bookseller, John Almon, were charged with seditious libel. Almon was tried first, found guilty and fined. Lord Chief Justice Mansfield had charged the jury to consider only two issues: (1) whether Almon had published the paper, and (2) whether the information it contained was as described. It was for the judge, he said, to decide whether the matter was libelous. Woodfall, the original publisher, was tried next, but the jury failed to agree. Two printers were found "not guilty" and the others were apparently not brought to trial. The identity of Junius was never revealed, but speculation as to his identity embraced many prominent statesmen and writers of the time. Everett lists 44 persons to whom authorship has been attributed. The Junius prosecutions caused considerable public criticism, but it was not until 1792 that the Fox Libel Act liberalized the rights of juries in libel cases. Junius' letters contain references to libel prosecutions of Wilkes, Almon, and Woodfall, as well as Junius' views on the use of the general warrant and the right of juries in libel cases. Junius disagreed with Lord Mansfield's restrictions on the power of juries.
