Note 91 — THE PLAIN DEALER.
Reading edition
Mother Bennet, a noted procuress. "The ironical commendation of the industry and charity of these antiquated ladies, these directors of Sin, after they can no longer commit it, makes up the beauty of the inimitable dedication to The Plain Dealer, and is a masterpiece of raillery on this vice."—Steele, in the Spectator, No. 266.
