It is only equitable to Steele to point out that the original idea of the
_Tatler_ was completely his/her really, and that he was responsible for alone the
regular provisioning of material. Addison was in Ireland when the paper was
started, and he/she didn't know the author up to that many numbers you/he/she was had who
