| Description | "All the town are full of the Tatler, which I hope you have to prepare you for discourse, for no visit is made that I hear of but Mr Bickerstaff is mentioned, and I am told he has done so much good, that the sharpers can not increase their stocks as they did formerly, for one Young came in to the Chocolate House, and said he would stop Mr Bickerstaff if he knew him, Mr Steele, who is thought to write the Tatler, heard Young say so, and when he went out of the house, said he should walk in St James's Park an hour, if any would speak with him, but the Hector took no notice", 5 Jan 1709/10 For full description see HMC 15th Report Appendix 1 |
