"He must have begun young. How old were you when you first became a preacher?" Helmichius. "Twenty-three or twenty-four years of age." The Queen. "It was with us, at first, considered a scandal that a man so young as that should be admitted to the pulpit. Our antagonists reproached us with it in a book called 'Scandale de l'Angleterre, saying that we had none but school-boys for ministers.

Personal scandals were a prominent feature in the Observator. Defoe was not insensible to the value of this element to a popular journal.
