Anstey, CHRISTOPHER, born in 1724, was educated at Bury St Edmunds, Eton, and King's College, Cambridge, of which he was a fellow from 1745 to 1754. In 1766 he published the New Bath Guide, whose fun and humour—somewhat faded now—achieved a success approached by none of his subsequent poems. He died in 1805.
