ents. _A letter which appeared some days ago in the Public Advertizer_ revived many serious reflections of this sort in my mind, because it seemed to be written with candour and judgment. _The effect of those reflections was, that I did not hesitate to alter the situation of my property._ "I owe my thanks to that writer that I am safely {276} _landed_ from a troubled ocean of fear and anxiety on which I think I will venture my fortune and my happiness again," &c. &c. There is no reason to question the truth of these sentiments. The letter is believed to be the first which appeared signed "ATTICUS," and was written many months before the author became known as Junius, and before any necessity had arisen for the exercise of that habitual caution which he afterwards evinced in the mention of any circumstance at all likely to lead to his detection. Would it not, therefore, be worth while to ascertain the date of the letter in the _Public Advertizer_ which influenced him, and then to search the names of the transferrors of stock between that time and the 19th August? Many of the contributors to the "Notes and Queries" have influence sufficient to obtain permission from the proper authority for such a search. It is observable, that as the amount _transferred_ formed the _greatest part_ of his property, it would be somewhat considerable, and might not be sold in the aggregate, but pass in various sums to several purchasers. JNO. SUDLOW. Manchester. _Junius and Sir G. Jackson._--I find no one has answered my question about Sir George Jackson (No. 11. p. 172.). I will therefore put another. I possess an unpublished letter by Junius to Woodfall, which once belonged to Sir George Jackson. My Query is, "Is it likely he could have obtained it from Junius, if he was neither Junius himself nor a party concerned?" The manner in which Burke evades the question as to himself being the author of _Junius_ makes me think two or three were concerned in these _Letters_. P. * * * * * NEW EDITION OF REV. DR. OWEN'S WORKS. I gladly avail myself of the hint thrown out by "R.R." (in No. 17.) to state that as I am engaged in editing a reprint of the works of the Rev.
