"In February 1750, along with Henry Fielding and others, Fielding opened the Universal Register Office opposite Cecil Street in the Strand, London. The business, which was probably Henry's idea, aimed 'to bring the World ... together into one Place' by acting as an intermediary in various business transactions, although it became mainly an employment exchange and a retailer of 'Glastonbury water', a famous restorative (J. Fielding, A Plan of the Universal Register-Office, 1752, 9)."--Oxford DNB, article for Sir John Fielding.

Title from caption and beginning of text. The words "Strand, and" are cancelled, probably for use at the Bishop'sgate office.
