Percy Anecdotes, a collection of extraordinary popularity, published in monthly parts (1820-23) by 'Sholto and Reuben Percy, Brothers of the Benedictine Monastery of Mount Benger.' Their real names were Thomas Byerley (died 1826), first editor of the Mirror, and Joseph Clinton Robertson (died 1852), projector and editor of the Mechanics' Magazine; the work owed its name to the Percy Coffee-house in Rathbone Place, their usual place of meeting during its progress. An edition was prepared by John Timbs (1868).
