Indexing Edward Cave began reporting the proceedings in Parliament in January 1732. In 1738 Parliament objected to this as a breech of privilege when he published the answer of George II to an address before it had been reported from the chair. The reporting didn't stop, but continued the feature as 'Debates in the Senate of Lilliput' and used pseudonyms for the politicians on the pattern of anagrams. Dr Samuel Johnson wrote many of the reports. A guide to the pseudonyms appeared on p.699:-  A Specimen of ANAGRAMMATA REDIVIA: Or, An Analysis of the Names of the HURGOES, CLINABS, &c. of LILLIPUT. |
