Hamilton, 1771-1792, sold as a periodical, not subject to return RARE. It is a measure of the popularity this magazine once enjoyed that it is cited in the opening scene of Richard Sheridan's enduring play, A School for Scandal. Exploiting the surge in prurient interest for affairs of the heart during the late 18th century, publisher Alexander Hamilton created Town and Country Magazine, so named because it held offices in both urban Clerkenwell and leafy Highgate. Beyond the Tête-à-Tête revelations, however, there are also extensive accounts of the war in America, pioneering advances in science and novelties of all descriptions.
