About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Tatler: Complete in One Volume, With Notes, and a General Index

When I am upon the house of Bickerstafi, i must not forget that genealogy of the family sent to me by the post, and written, as I since understand, by Mr. Twisden, who died at the battle of Mom, and has a monument in West minster-abbey, suitable to the respect which is due to his wit and his velour. There are through the course of the work very many incidents which were written by unknown cor respondents. Of this kind is the tale in the second Tatler, and the epistle from Mr. Downes the prom'pter, with others which were very well received by the public. But I have only sue gentleman, who will he nameless, to thank for any frequent assistance to me, which in deed it would have been barbarous in him to have denied to one with whom he has lived in an intimacy from childhood, considering the peat ease with which he is able to despatch the most entertaining pieces of this nature. This good office he performed with such force of genius, humour, wit, and learning, that I fared like a distressed prince, who calls in a powerful neighbour to his aid; 1 was undone by my auxiliary; when I had Once called him in, I could not subsist without dependence on him.
