ESTC T92599, 7 copies in the UK; Huntington, UCLA, Yale; Nat Lib Australia. This publication was announced as 'just published' on February 26th 1731, in the Daily Journal. 'On Thursday, 8 January 1730, the first number of a weekly journal called The Grub-street Journal appeared with the avowed purpose of rehabilitating the name of Grub-street, which, according to Johnson, was the appellation used for the tribe of mean and needy authors, or literary hacks. It soon became evident to the readers of The Grub-street Journal that it was a successor to the Dunciad and published with the blessing, if not the direct help, of Alexander Pope. At its inception there were two editors - John Martyn (Bavius) and Richard Russell. Martyn withdrew from the editorship at the beginning of the second year of the paper's existence but probably continued to contribute from time to time as a correspondent.' ref: Williamson, Raymond. John Martyn and the Grub-Street Journal. 1961. Two accounts of the Society were published: Faithful Memoirs of the Grub-Street Society, now first published by Mr Bavius (1732); and Memoirs of the Society of Grub-Street (1737).
