Richard STEELE & Joseph ADDISON

Le Spectateur ou le Socrate moderne, où l'on voit un portrait naïf des Moeurs de ce Siécle

Chez Mérigot, Paris 1754-1755, in-12 (9,5x17cm), 9 volumes reliés.

New edition adorned with seven frontispieces Scotin the elder. The newspaper appeared for the first time in volume in 1712 sheepskin. Full brown speckled time. Back with five nerves, parts of title and volume number of red morocco, gilt floral pedestals and finials. All red edges. Caps head of volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 and tail volumes 2, 3 and 4 and 9 leveled (some rough). Corners lightly bumped. Four split bits. Pale marginal foxing in the second volume. The Spectator was an early English contemporaryicals that appeared daily from 1711 to 1712. Aimed at Middle Class, Addison thinks that despite its daily circulation of 4,000 copies, it was read by about 60,000 Londoners. The Spectator was very popular and republished many times during the eighteenth century. He wears an ironic look at English society and durably marked the release of its novelty. Each number was around 2000 words, and Addison and Steele shared writing. The Spectator in its current version is now a well known English newspaper. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
