Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of political letters critical of the government of King George III to the Public Advertiser,[1] from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772 as well as several other London newspapers such as the London Evening Post.
Charges were brought against several people, of whom two were convicted and sentenced. Junius himself was aware of the advantages of concealment, as he wrote in a letter to John Wilkes dated 18 September 1771. Two generations after the appearance of the letters, speculation as to the authorship of Junius was rife. Sir Philip Francis is now generally, but not universally, believed to be the author.
^The Public Advertiser was a political newspaper run by Henry Sampson Woodfall, presumably based in London. His brother of William Woodfall later established the Daily, a paper that reported on parliamentary debates.
