First announced in the academic bulletin for April-June 1986, these books have been delayed until this quarter. 'Such is the variety of topics broached in The Tatler that the general reader as well as the scholar will derive pleasure from this edition. All will be grateful to the late Professor Bond for his long labours as an editor. Thanks are also due to the Clarendon Press for the format and the handsome layout of the text. This is a worthy companion to The Spectator.' Irene Simon, Justificatif.
