Excerpt from The Claims of Sir Philip Francis, K. B., To the Authorship of Junius's Letters, Disproved: Some Enquiry Into the Claims of the Late Charles Lloyd, Esq. To the Composition of Them; Observations on the Conduct, Character, and Style of the Writings of the Late Right Hon. Edmund Burke The reader will perceive from the dates of the Letters that they were written at different times, as the Author found intervals of leisure amidst literary pursuits of a weightier and very different nature. This circumstance will account for several repetitions, which may be found in them, and for the same argument being supported by different facts and different reasoning in different parts of the book, which in other circumstances would have been methodised into one paragraph.
