Tatler, no. 230, (28 Sept., 1710) in The Tatler / by Isaac Bickerstaff. (London : Printed by Charles Lillie and John Morphew, 1711-1713) 4 v. vol. 4
After Swift’s fun at Partridge’s expense, the name of Isaac Bickerstaff became topical and Steele used it for his new journal, The Tatler, or, The lucubrations of Isaac Bickerstaff, launched on 12 April 1709. Swift wrote pieces for it including this on "the continual corruption of our English tongue." He attacked the use of vogue words such as "Mobb" and "Banter."
