Abstract
ABSTRACT Approximately 2000 people subscribed to the works of Laurence Sterne. The vast majority has been identified (either definitely or possibly) with the appearance of The Miscellaneous Writings and Sterne’s Subscribers, an Identification List, ed. New and Gerard (2014), but new information is still being found. Here further information about two subscribers, John Readshaw and Joshua Readshaw, is presented, in large part based on the connection between Joshua Readshaw and another subscriber, J. J. Angerstein; both were early underwriters of Lloyds of London and instrumental in its founding. Furthermore, the idea that such insurance underwriters were frequently Sterne subscribers is discussed.
