Contact seller5-star sellerThe Spectator, with sketches of the lives of the authors and explanatory notes. Bound in full leather. Gilded spines. Two labels on each book. Printed on quality paper. 7 inches tall. 7 inches of shelf space. In good condition. The hinges are all attached, some starting, all held firmly by underlying binding cords. Printed on qu…ality paper. Some general rubs usage wear. An early name dated 1838, with an inscription from Dibdin 'Not to possess the writings of Addison is a misdemeanor'. These display beautifully. The Spectator was an important literary magazine from the 1700's, and an important addition to any antiquarian collection. According to Dibdin, not to possess the works of Addison is a misdemeanor. The Spectator 'set out not only to entertain and inform, but also to edify and instruct morally and aesthetically'. Addison and Steele's stated goal was to 'enliven Morality with Wit, and to temper Wit with Morality.' The daily issues of The Spectator became a huge success, with essays commenting on the sublime, the social, and the political. It became a major venue for the spread of Enlightenment ideas, and was one of the first publications to appeal directly to a female readership. Number 40 of the Grolier 100. This set would make an excellent gift and/or addition to any fine library. In addition to their shelf presence, antiquarian books make an excellent investment. We always pack very securely to help ensure safe handling during transit. All books are individually wrapped and are always professionally padded. We offer a full refund guarantee, per our terms described on our site, with notification of such intent requested. Please contact us with any inquiries.

Add to basketHalf leather bindings, 22 x 14 cm. 12 identical engraved title-vignettes by J. Wandelaar. In good condition. Complete set van deze tweewekelijkse spectator, waarvan in totaal 312 afleveringen zijn verschenen, elk van acht bladzijden. De onbekende redacteur geeft in de eerste aflevering een profielschets van enkele van zijn vrien…den die hem zullen bijstaan: zij kennen hun talen, ieder van hen heeft een bijzondere deskundigheid, sommigen houden van poëzie en allen, de redacteur inbegrepen, zijn protestants, "dit is genoeg wat hun en my betreft". De naam van één van zijn medewerkers is wel bekend geworden: de Alkmaarse rector en Neo-Latijns dichter E.W. Higt (1723 - 1762). Voorin elke jaargang staat een inhoudsopgave en deel XII bevat een index op alle delen. De titel is tegen het eind van de achttiende eeuw nog twee keer gebruikt: in 1786 voor een Amsterdams weekblad, maar uitgever J. Verlem (of redacteur H. Bergh) veranderde de naam al na 14 afleveringen in 'De Nederlandsche spectator met de bril', en in 1792 voor een Utrechts periodiek, uitgegeven door H. van Otterloo, waarvan 50 afleveringen zijn verschenen.
