The Guardian was a short-lived newspaper published in London from 12 March to 1 October 1713. It was founded by Richard Steele and featured contributions from Joseph Addison, Thomas Tickell, Alexander Pope, George Berkeley, and Ambrose Philips. Steele and Addison had previously collaborated on the Tatler and The Spectator. Button's Coffee House in Russell Street, Covent Garden, acted as an ad hoc office for the newspaper. Contributors submitted written material in a marble lion's head letterbox, said to have been designed by the artist William Hogarth, for possible publication in The Guardian.
