Isaac Bickerstaff, physician and astrologer

pubOne.info present you this new edition. Of the relations between Steele and Addison, and the origin of Steele's &quote;Tatler, &quote; which was developed afterwards into the &quote;Spectator, &quote; account has already been given in the introduction to a volume of this Library, * containing essays from the &quote;Spectator&quote;- &quote;Sir Roger de Coverley and the Spectator Club. &quote; There had been a centre of life in the &quote;Tatler, &quote; designed, as Sir Roger and his friends were designed, to carry the human interest of a distinct personality through the whole series of papers. The &quote;Tatler's&quote; personality was Isaac Bickerstaff, Physician and Astrologer; as to years, just over the grand climacteric, sixty-three, mystical multiple of nine and seven; dispensing counsel from his lodgings at Shire Lane, and seeking occasional rest in the vacuity of thought proper to his club at the &quote;Trumpet.
