_Grub Street Journal._--Can any of your readers give me information as to
the parties by whom this journal was conducted; or who formed the Grub
Street Society, shortly before, and for a few years after 1730; or what
this society was: or refer me to the best sources of information on the
subject? My reason for asking the question is, that I have lately found a
manuscript book--a common thickish square account-book in a vellum
back--containing at one end, as it seems, the minutes of the meetings of
the Grub Street Society, signed by the members at each meeting: at the
other end, the accounts of the funds of the association. If it should prove
that the entries are genuine, and they should prove to be of any interest,
I should send you some extracts from the book.
