RECEIVING HOUSES OF THE SPECTATOR AND TATLER. 

 Trifles light as air, when connected witli men of genius, and associated with hallowed 

 literature, become interesting to every well-attuned mind. Hence many persons will 

 feel gratified in liaving presented to them fac-siniiles of the p-emises so celebrated in 

 the classic days of the Spectator and Tatler, when statesmen were either men of let- 

 ters, or their patrons, and when nobility was dignified by the familiar association of 

 genius. The house in Fuhvood's Rents, Holborn, where letters were received for the 

 Spectator, at that time bore the name of Squire's Coffee House ; and the Trumpet, iu 

 Sliire-Laiie, Temple Bar, whence the Tatlers weie dated, still exists as the Diike-ol- 

 York public-house. Subjoined also is the house at Sandy End, between Chelsea and 

 Fulham, (for which we are indebted to Falkner's History,) where Addison resided 

 during the greater pait of the period iu which tiie Spectator was published.
