In 1711 London's wit was booming, and John Gay filed this report on it: the Tatler, the Spectator, and the paper wars of the coffeehouses. Bound with excerpts from the English Theophrastus on conversation and good breeding. A firsthand snapshot of the golden age of the essay. Journalism about journalism, three centuries fresh.
