		Sterne is said to have never formally become a member of the circle of gay squires and clerics at Skelton known as the Demoniacks ; but no doubt he shared their festivities.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Sterne, Laurence
		The birth of Laurence Sterne was marked by financial crisis for his parents, occasioned by the disbanding of the army in 1713 following the Treaty of Utrecht (the peace brokered by the Tories at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession).
