Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of John Horne Tooke, Together With His Valuable Speeches and Writings: Also, Containing Proofs Identifying Him as the Author of the Celebrated Letters of Junius
It must not be understood that the Author claims the originality of the suggestion that Tooke is Junius; of the constellation of emi nent literary characters 'of that age, numbers have been selected to that honor, by literary curiosity or impertinence, and among others John Horne Tooke. He hopes, however, with out subjecting himself to the imputation of vanity, he may be allowed the merit of having contributed to change mere suspicion into eu during and unalterable belief. He seeks, by his humble labors, not to weave the wreath, but merely to bind it on, having first ascertained the brows destined to wear it. If he fails ofthis, he will at least have the satisfaction of knowing his motives were pure, and of having, while employed in this way, scattered many agreeable associations along the path of a life rapidly descending into the vale.
