Note 6 — Chapter VII

Reading edition

Both the 'new and old Bayleys' are treated to a roasting in the Comic Magazine; and we get an earlier glimpse of these worthies, for whom the young writer evidently entertained but scanty respect, in Fraser for 1831, where, in the November number, Oliver Yorke is supposed to hold a levee, at which the prominent celebrities are presented to Regina's editor on various pretences—'Old Bayley, on being sent to France,' and 'Young Bayley, after Four Years in the West Indies,' on his arrival to present a copy of the 'Songs of Almack's.' This young gentleman came over to the 'London World' in a 'National Omnibus:' his appearance excited some curiosity.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
