ONE of the many sub -headings of the long- hoped-for Bibliography of London will have to be ' Clubs and Coteries ' for the reason that these are a distinctive feature of London history and topography and their literature is considerable. The following few notes are put forward as an attempt at the task, being the list of a small col- lection gathered in forming a library of London books : GENERAL HISTORIES. 1. Secret History of Clubs, particularly the Kit-cat, Beefsteak, Virtuosos, Quacks, Knights of the Golden Fleece, Florists, Beaus, &c., with the Originals and Characters of the Most Noted Members.
