Annotation:“In Cheyne walk was the Museum and Coffee-house of Don Saltero, renowned in the swimming exploits of Dr. Franklin. The landlord, James Salter, was a noted barber, who made a collection of natural curiosities, which acquired him the name (probably first given him by Steele,) of Don Saltero. (See Tatler, Nos. 34, 195, and 226.) The quiet tavern remains, but the Museum was dispersed by auction about the year 1807. Another wonder was the old Chelsea Bun-house, which possessed a sort of rival Museum to Don Saltero’s. … It was taken down in 1839 (75-6).
