Junius

Pseudonymous political writer · Writers

Junius was the pseudonym of an anonymous British writer who contributed a series of letters to the Public Advertiser, a London-based political newspaper run by Henry Sampson Woodfall, from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772.

Junius is read about 23 times a day, in 6 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

About this person

The signature had been already used, apparently by the same writer, in a letter written on 21 November 1768. These works, along with numerous other personal letters, were included in his Letters of Junius collection that was published in 1772.
