“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.

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  I possess an unpublished letter by Junius to Woodfall, which once belonged to Sir George Jackson.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.

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. Dr. Owen, and as I am exceedingly anxious to ensure accuracy in the quotations from and references to the Fathers, any suggestions which may be furnished by those of your learned correspondents who may be conversant with the works in question, will be very acceptable.  I should wish much to obtain original editions of the leading works, such as that On the Person of Christ; On the Work of the Spirit; On the Death of Death, in the Death of Christ.  Have any of your correspondents ever taken the trouble of collating the Greek and Latin quotations with the authors quoted from, and examined the references made to the Fathers and other ancient writers?  Any communication addressed to the editor of the works of Owen at Messrs. Johnstone and Hunter, Publishers, Edinburgh, will be promptly forwarded to me.
