Generalized wear as shown in the pictures. A rare book. FIRST EDITION/FIRST PRINTING. Volume 1 only. Front cover detached. Missing rear cover. Writing on fep, early armorial bookplate. Generalized wear as shown in the pictures. A rare book. This is the exceedingly rare FIRST EDITION of the Spectator. FIRST EDITION in book form, never before printed. Printed in 1712. Exceedingly rare. The Spectator is a classic literary publication by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. It was a daily publication founded in England, lasting from 1711 to 1712. Each "paper", or "number", was approximately 2,500 words long, in loose and individual newspaper format, and the original run consisted of 555 numbers, beginning on 1 March 1711. These writings were collected and published in book form in seven volumes, (with the 8th volume collected in 1715.) The paper was revived without the involvement of Steele in 1714, appearing thrice weekly for six months, and these papers when collected formed the eighth volume. The first edition was printed in 1712, with the final volume added to the collection in 1715. This is an exceedingly rare and unobtainable volume one only from the set, in better external condition, worth several thousand dollars. The book: 'One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature', places the Spectator as No. 40. This is the FIRST EDITION in book form of the Spectator Magazine. Only issued and distributed in newspaper format; this is the rare first printing of the set. This is the most desirable collection of the Spectator obtainable. Printed in 1712-1713. This rare First Edition is well over 3 centuries old. By comparison, it is significantly older than the United States of America. The Spectator is #40 of 100 in the classic listing: 'One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature'. Rare FIRST EDITION of the Classic Spectator Magazine. Printed in 1712.
