They also list R. Brinsley Sheridan as Author of another copy. Keele University Library list Peter E Marsh as Author. Some of the anecdotes had already appeared in the New Monthly Magazine, to which Charles Marsh contributed. However recent scholarship suggests that Scottish writer Colin Mackenzie (1795-1854) may be the true author of this work. Nineteenth century literary contributor/hack writer, editor, translator and compiler, he also wrote about the 'Gentlemen's Clubs' of London.
