An "ultra-tory journal", begun by Henry St.John, Francis Atterbury, Matthew Prior, John Freind and originally edited by William King, the paper was soon controlled by Robert Harley; its editor and major contributor during most of 1711 was Jonathan Swift. Cf. McLeod.
Successive editors after Swift were Delarivier Manley and William Oldisworth, who took over the paper at the end of 1711.
Many earlier issues reprinted soon after the printing to meet demand. Cf. McLeod.
