Walpole:
Do you think we shall purchase the fee simple of him for so many
years?-Letters, vol. ii.

7. Walpole's time of life, his station in society, means of
information, and habits of writing much, and anonymously, and in
concealment, all tally with the supposition of his being Junius.
So do his places of residence, when that part of the subject is
carefully examined.

8. It is an odd circumstance that Walpole, who makes remarks on
every thing, makes no remark on Junius. If he ever expressed an
opinion of him in his letters to any of his numerous
correspondents, those letters have been suppressed. There are
fewer letters of his in the years during which Junius was
writing, than in any others.

9. Walpole's quarrel with the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, and
The party whom he calls "the Bedford court," and Junius "the
Bloomsbury gang," would account for the rancour of the letters of
the latter to the Duke.


10. Walpole's dislike and opinion of the Duke of Grafton, which
is nowhere more remarkably expressed than in a letter published
for the first time in your third volume, coupled with his
friendship for the first Duchess of Grafton, fall in with the
attacks of Junius on the Duke.
