SUMMARY
JSTOR Daily article by Amelia Soth, published 30 May 2019. The byline ('Amelia Soth') and date ('May 30, 2019') were copied directly from the article page; the publisher is JSTOR Daily. The piece supplies the directly quoted advertising-language excerpt 'Any gentleman and his lady...may, by a compliment of a fifty pound bank note be permitted' and the editorial sentence 'By 1782, Graham was bankrupt'. It also places the Temple of Health on 'Pall Mall street in London'. Cited in the case as the secondary-literature anchor for the fifty-pound-per-night hire price and the 1782 bankruptcy framing.
NOTES
JSTOR Daily article by Amelia Soth (30 May 2019) on James Graham, the Temple of Health, and the Celestial Bed. Used as the secondary-literature source for the advertised fifty-pound nightly hire price (quoting Graham’s own advertising copy) and for the 1782 bankruptcy framing. Note that the Wikipedia biography records that the sale of Graham’s possessions ran through March 1784; the JSTOR Daily account compresses the two dates into the editorial “By 1782, Graham was bankrupt” framing. The case body preserves both dates.
