lie juft names ; neither can I find any thing more about him. It 
is probable he may have been one of the firft great Encouragers 
of Coffee and Coffee-Houfes, or may have uftd it much in his 
own Family j but Ed^wards and Hodges muft be acknowledg’d as 
the Perfons who firft brought in the general Ufe of Coffee in 
London. In another Pamphlet, printed about i 6^70. the Author 
tells us, that ever fince Coffee came to be much in Vogue, the 
Droply and Gout were lefs common than before. 
The general Knowledge of Coffee in France is of a much later 
Date than in England 3 for it cannot be carried higher than 1 660. 
It isj true, M. la Roque informs us, that the Liquor itftlf was 
drank at Marfeilles in the Year i<^44. and in fo doing he has 
only preferv’d the Memory of an A6lion of his Father’s. ^ My 
‘ Father, fays he, who went to Conjlantinople with M. de la Haye^ 
‘ and from thence further into the Levant, brought back with 
‘ him to Marfeilles not only, the Coffee-Berries, but all the Equi- 
^ page likewile which belongs to the Liquor, as it was then pre- 
^ par’d and uftd in Turkey. This was thought a very great Cu- 
‘ riofity at that time in France , and there is ftill a Scrutore at' his 
^ Country-houle very handfbmely fet out with all thele Accou- 
^ trements, efpecially Dilhes of old China very beautiful and fine, 
^ befides little Muflin-Napkins with Gold and Silver Borders, 
‘ which alfo made part of the Equipage. 1 own, however, that 
^ this Curiofity of my Father’s was but of very fmall Influence 
^ towards the Eftablilhment of the general Ufe of Coffee in tha 
*■ Kingdom j for it only extended to a fmall Knot of Friends 
^ who had travelled into the Levant, and continu’d ever after to 
^ imitate this Cuftom of the People there. 
^ But in the Year 1660. (continues this Author, from whom 
I muft borrow all that I am to fay about the Eftablilhment of 
the Ufe of Coffee in France) ^ feveral Merchants of Marfeilles, 
^ who liv’d long in the Eaftern Countries, and there accuftom’d 
^ themfelves too much to the drinking of Coffee ever to be wil- 
^ ling to leave it off, brought back a good Quantity with them, 
‘ and by prefenting it often to their Friends, made a great many 
‘ People of Marfeilles as fond of it as they were themfelves j and 
‘ by thefe means Coffee becoming more and more common 
‘ among the Merchants, and all who frequented the Sea, feme 
‘ Druggifts of that City, who have always had a great Trade to 
^ the Eaft, bethought themfelves of fending for fome Bales of 
‘ Coffee from Egypt. This firft Venture fucceeded beyond Ex- 
* petftation, and contributed very much to bring this Liquor more 
^ into ufe at Marfeilles^ and from thence it foon reach’d Lyons
