Book excerpt: Excerpt from Junius Lord Chatham, and the Miscellaneous Letters Proved to Be Spurious This is not a new edition of An Attempt to prove that Lord Chatham was J unius, published by me in 1830, but a new work, containing, certainly, the same line of argument, but supported, I trust, by a considerable body of additional evidence. In my title-page I have assumed what some may deem a bold position. I say J unius was Lord. Chatham. Let the question be judged by what I have placed on record. I ask no more. But should I have failed in establishing my case to the satisfaction of any of my readers, I think I may confidently claim the credit of having detected, beyond question or cavil, the spuriousness of the Miscellaneous Letters, and in doing this have at least brushed away from the memory of a great man a mass of deformity and absurdity. That Lord Chatham was capable of writing the Letters of J unius, must be conceded that his general style and tone of thinking were the same as those of Junius, cannot be rationally denied; that he was in a position to acquire the peculiar information with which his letters abound, must be admitted by all who know any thing of Chatham and the history of the period in which he flourished 5 that he had motives for anger, and provocations to violence, no one will venture to dispute.
