to the qualities enumerated, it is pleasant to know that Francklin stood alone in befriending Amhurst in his last days of poverty, and that it is entirely owing to the bookseller's liberality that the remains of the original "Caleb D'Anvers were preserved from a pauper's grave.

Although I have been unable to find any account either of the date of Francklin's birth or of his death, it is certain that he served an apprenticeship to Edmund Curll (Curll Papers,' p. 8n.), and that he succeeded William Rufus Chetwood as a bookseller in Russell Street, Covent Garden.

Notes.

RICHARD FRANCKLIN, BOOKSELLER. There are very many facts about this interesting and courageous personage which one would like to know, but most of which are probably beyond learning. Biographical dictionaries do not mention him at all; John Nichols only alludes to him once as the publisher of 'An Historical and Critical Essay on the Thirty-nine Articles' (1724); and his name only occurs twice in the several indices to 'N. & Q. Yet he is a prominent figure in the early newspaper history of this country. One likes to dwell upon the careers of the very few men who lived and acted consistently and fearlessly during the first quarter of the last century. The temptations to run " with the party in power were so great, and the penalties of an antagonistic policy so severe, that those who actually stuck to their principles through thick and thin were very few indeed. Richard Francklin, the bookseller, and Nicholas Amhurst, the journalist, were two men whom neither fear nor favour enticed off the high road of political virtue. Precedent (in the House of Commons) is regarded as of great importance, and if the two just named desired to turn, they might have adduced innumerable instances of the most barefaced and flagrant turncoatism. Nearly every leading man had at one time or other found it convenient to veer like a weathercock. In addition

mately associated for some time. This poetical
skit, which I do not find in the British Museum,
was occasioned by Amhurst's 'Epistle to Sir John
Blount,' one of the directors of the South Sea
Company (1720). From this "poem" it would
seem that the general impression ran to the effect
that Amhurst was not only in the employ of
Francklin, but that he took as part payment for
his work board and lodging-somewhat similar,
perhaps, to the arrangement between Dryden and
Herringman. The following eight lines conclude
the "poem " (Francklin is, of course, supposed to
be writing) :-

So may thy name be spread, and I
With Tonson and with Lintot vie;
So may'st thou pay, in Fame or Wealth,
The score we tick'd to Bl-T's good health:
So may in time a just reward

Descend on him, and thee, his bard;

And thus your diff'rent emblems shine,

The rope be Bl--T's, the Laurel thine. The next most important event in the careers of Amhurst and Francklin was the publication of the Craftsman, concerning which a few notes appear in the December number of the Bookworm. The earlier numbers did not bear Francklin's imprint, but may all the same have been undertaken by him. The first number appeared December 5, 1726, and the paper soon secured an unprecedented popularity. The ministry of Walpole quickly felt the result of its persistent and uncompromising criticism. The sixteenth issue caused both Francklin and Amhurst to be arrested, but they were apparently soon released. No. 31 again brought about the imprisonment of Francklin, but the prosecution, through a flaw in some of the forms of procedure, came to nothing. In January, 1730/1, the bookseller once more suffered incarceration. A number of political "friends" promised to subscribe 50%. each as compensation to him, but only three paid up, one of whom was Pulteney.

In 1732 a pamphlet of 32 pp. appeared, entitled 'Bob-Lynn against Franck-Lynn,' a political tract, which purports to be the history of the "controversies and dissentions in the family of the Lynns; occasioned by the quarrel of Bob-Lynn [¿. e., Sir
