Doctor Lyons frequently called on Benjamin to converse upon the subject-matter of his pamphlet, and, at one time, he says, "He carried me to the Horns, a pale-ale house in Lane, Cheapside, and introduced me to Doctor Mandeville, author of the 'Fable of the Bees, who had a club there, of which he was the soul, being a most facetious, entertaining companion."
