Of the papers in this volume, the first was sent to Steele by the post, and Steele wrote in the original Preface to the completed "Tatler" "written, as I since understand, by Mr. Twisdon, who died at the battle of Mons, and has a monument in Westminster Abbey, suitable to the respect which is due to his wit and valour." The other papers were all written by Steele, with these exceptions: No.

The next day, again, lest they should, through the multitude of business, forget me, we did throw another petition into the coach to Judge Twisdon; who, when he had seen it, snapt her up, and angrily told her that I was a convicted person, and could not be released, unless I would promise to preach no more, &c.

CHESTER. My lord, said Justice Chester, he is a pestilent fellow; there is not such a fellow in the country again. TWISDON. What, will your husband leave preaching? If he will do so, then send for him. WOMAN. My lord, said she, he dares not leave preaching as long as he can speak. TWISDON. See here: what should we talk any more about such a fellow? Must he do what he lists?
