Information
has glosseng: The Club was a London dining club founded in February 1764 by the artist Joshua Reynolds and essayist Samuel Johnson. Description Initially, the club would meet one evening per week at seven, at the Turks Head Inn in Gerrard Street, Soho. Later, meetings were reduced to once per fortnight whilst Parliament was in session, and were held at rooms in St Jamess Street. Though the initial suggestion was Reynolds, it is Dr Johnson whose name is most closely associated with the Club. John Timbs, in his Club Life in London, gives an account of the Clubs centennial dinner in 1864, which was celebrated at the Clarendon hotel. Henry Hart Milman, the English historian, was treasurer. The Club's toast, no doubt employing a bit of wishful thinking, was "Esto perpetua".
