The letters of 'Junius' were written to the 'London Public Advertiser' between 1769 and 1772 as part of a concerted and venomous attack on the government of the Duke of Grafton in favour of the return of the Earl of Chatham. Following numerous pirated and incomplete editions, the first authorised version appeared in 1772 and was an immediate success. The letters were regarded as models of neo-classical style (they were praised by both Burke and Johnson) and have been many times reprinted. Their authorship remains a major literary enigma of eighteenth century English literature. Harvey (OCEL) and CBEL favour Sir Philip Francis (the case would appear a strong one) but there are at least forty other nominees including figures as diverse as Burke, Gibbon, Temple, Tooke and Walpole.
