It

Sir Philip Francis, K.B. He was born in Dublin, on the 22d October, 1740, old style. Dr Francis, the translator of Horace, was his father. Sir Philip originally possessed a situation in the War Office, and afterwards went to India, where his talents raised him to a distinguished situation. was his misfortune to differ with the late Mr Hastings, while in that country, and to engage in a duel with that gentleman. Sir Philip was a member of the House of Commons in several Parliaments, and received his baronetage during the administration of Lord Grenville and Mr Fox. No man, who, like him, was for half a century perpetually in the press, was ever so little known by the public at large. Scarcely a year elapsed, even after he had passed the age allotted to him, without a production from his pen; and he was known, and perhaps only known, in political circles, as the ablest pamphlet writer of the age. A MS. of an historical character, relating to the persons and personages who have figured in the present reign, occupied his care and attention to the latest period. Whenever it appears, it will be found marked by many of the characteristics which so distinguish the best delineations of Tacitus. The works of Sir Philip resemble, in one particular, those of Lord Bacon, of whom it was said, that "no man crammed so much meaning into so few words." In a book, lately published, the letters of Junius have been ascribed to him, but we avoid giving any opinion on the question of Junius. Of the work entitled "Junius Identified," a very learned judge observed-" If there is any dependence on the law of presumptive evidence, the case is made out." The article on this subject in the Edinburgh Review seemed to put the question at rest in the affirmative, as it did the work of the ingenious discoverer, and all further public debate about the matter. It was an ænigma found out, and all interest had ceased. Whether the conclusion come to be right or wrong, will, in all probability, be decided by documents which personal motives may now no longer operate to conceal.

Oliver & Boyd, Printers.
