"The Tarpeian Rock includes works both sober and humorous. Clever short stories are featured alongside insightful opinion pieces with the main theme being an appreciation for God, country, and traditional values. Pieces that extol a particular virtue, like faith, courage, loyalty, honesty, love, hope, or compassion are particularly welcomed. Also satirical pieces that really take the gloves off in attacking relativism, nihilism, pseudoscience, political correctness, or cultural vulgarity are given pride of place."

Mayo says "prose fiction was unquestionably an important factor in the success of the Tatler at a time when fiction was still considered by man readers a dubious, trivial, or at best an unfamiliar form of entertainment. The Tatler published more fiction than any magazine that preceded it, the Gentleman's Journal perhaps excepted." Many stories were written by Steele himself.

An upmarket society magazine which is still going strong; it claims to be descended from the 18th-century Tatler edited by Steele, but that is highly dubious; featured two-page colour spreads by illustrator Alfred Bestall in the 1920s (in his reminiscences, he referred to the magazine as a "big shiny" -- equivalent to the contemporary American phrase "big slick"); it published fiction during its weekly period, e.g. "The Gentleman from America" by Michael Arlen (Christmas 1924); circulation of the relaunched version 72,000 (in 1993).

Absorbed The Bystander in 1940, to become Tatler & Bystander (still called that in 1962). In 1965, absorbed by London Life.
