What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
A French language translation of this work, which was originally published in English.
Complete in seven volumes.
'The Spectator' was a daily publication founded by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele in England, originally running from 1711 to 1712, and collected into seven volumes.
The 'Spectator' became a major venue for the spread of Enlightenment ideas, and was one of the first publications to appeal directly to a female readership.
Addison estimated that during its initial run, about a tenth of London's population were readers of the publication.
Illustrated with a frontispiece to each volume. Collated, complete.
