Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The 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 quality 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.
