ADDISON, Joseph (1672-1719) and Sir Richard STEELE (1672-1729)]. The Spectator . London: for Sam Buckley, 1 March 1711-6 December 1712. 2° (312 x 199 mm). A number of leaves with original tax stamps. (Some browning and staining, a few shoulder notes shaved close, a few numbers misnumbered.) Contemporary Cambridge-paneled calf, spine gilt with red morocco lettering-piece gilt (rebacked preserving original spine and recornered, some light wear); cloth slipcase. Provenance : “A.R.” (early initials on flyleaf); Jerome Kern (bookplate; his sale, Anderson Galleries, 7 January 1929, lot 8); Sylvain S. Brunschwig (morocco monogrammed bookplate; his sale Parke Bernet, 9 April 1951, lot 1); sold Rosenbach Collection (description laid in dated May 1964 in pencil). A COMPLETE SET OF THE ORIGINAL 555 NUMBERS ORIGINAL FOLIO ISSUES . A few numbers bound out of order. By the end of The Tatler’s run in January of 1711, it was identified as a Whig publication at a time when the Whigs political strength was in decline and the Tories were gaining power. Steele was no longer working for The Gazette , and Addison was a Whig out of office; the two took their time to plan The Spectator , developing a non-partisan stance for the periodical. It appeared 6 days per week, with both Addison (signing as “Clio”) and Steele (signing as “T.” or “R.”) providing articles. They are also believed to have solicited contributions from Pope, Budgell, Hughes, Parnell, and Tickell. Grolier English 40; Rothschild 3. ESTC P1724.
