In late 18th-century England, coffee drinking was becoming increasingly popular, particularly in urban areas like London. Coffeehouses, which had started to emerge in the 17th century, became important social and intellectual hubs where people from various backgrounds could gather to discuss politics, literature, science, and business.
Coffeehouses were often referred to as "penny universities" because for the price of a penny, one could buy a cup of coffee and engage in stimulating conversations. These establishments attracted writers, artists, merchants, politicians, and intellectuals, fostering an environment of intellectual exchange and debate.
The atmosphere of coffeehouses was conducive to the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of information. They often had bulletin boards where newspapers, pamphlets, and advertisements were posted, allowing patrons to stay informed about current events and public debates.
