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.

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.
