The coffeehouse must not be dismissed with a cursory

improperly called a most important political
institution. . . . The coffeehouses were the chief
organs through which the public opinion of the
metropolis vented itself. . . . Every man of the upper
or middle class went daily to his coffeehouse to learn

journalists of our own time have been called -- a
fourth estate of the realm. --Macaulay.
