" The English Spy, both in text and in illustrations, is sometimes as coarse as ever was Smollet in word or Gillray in drawing, it contains many lively representations of life, high and low, gives much curious information about real people still recongisable under their fictitious names [including Charles Kemble, Macready, Grimaldi, Mme. Vestris, Mathews and Wallack, and also George IV and his mistress] , and preserves many tales of a past age." Further, CBEL notes this work was considered an offshoot of "Life in London," and that Westmacott "appears to have been a blackmailer; but was a spirited and amusing writer." Purportedly, Westmacott received a horsewhipping from Charles Kemble three years after this work was published. ABBEY LIFE 325. TOOLEY 504. Elegantly bound by W.

He was the father of Sir Anthony Eden, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 6th April 1955 to 9th January 1957. Charles Molloy Westmacott (1788-1868) was a British journalist, author, and editor of The Age, the leading Sunday newspaper of the early 1830s which specialized in scurrilous and satirical gossip about celebrities of the day, who sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Bernard Blackmantle. Westmacott was savagely portrayed by Edward Bulwer-Lytton as the unprincipled gossip-monger ("Sneak") in his England and the English (1833), and was known as the most notorious extortionate editor of his day. While he did accept money to suppress publication of stories, this was legal until the 1843 Libel Act. In the 1840s Westmacott moved to Paris, where he died in 1868.
