Excerpt from Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin
The first number of The Anti-Jacobin or Weekly Examiner appeared on Monday, 20th November 1797 in the form of sixteen closely printed and double-columned folio pages, price 6d. It was published by J. Wright at No. 169, opposite Old Bond Street, Piccadilly, a bookseller who supplied Tory literature, much as his rival, Debrett, was the usual sponsor of Whig pamphlets and periodicals. The Anti-Jacobin was to be continued "every Monday during the sitting of Parliament," and when it came to an end, on July 9 of the following year, the editor intimated that his journal had completed its engagement with the public. That statement should be in itself sufficient to kill the legend that Mr Pitt became frightened by its vehemence and stopped the paper. It was started by Canning, with the Prime Minister's cordial approval, and during its brief existence Pitt contributed to it four papers on finance, besides the "Review of the Session" in the last number but one.
