The identity of Junius is open to question and debate, and may never be finally resolved unless documents are found which establish his identity. Junius' letters were noticed and talked about for generations afterwards and spread throughout Europe in many languages. His concepts on democratic elections, freedom of the press, legal history and the constitutional rights of individuals are now common-place. He had a significant influence over a great many and sparked an interest in such real concepts of liberty.
