London: Printed Little Britain and Folio, two volumes,

The complete file of the "Spectator" as originally issued in numbers, seven volumes, Nos. I-DLV from Thursday, March 1, 1711, through Saturday, December 6, 1712, every day except Sunday. It was resumed on Friday, June 18, 1714 and published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through No. 635 (misprinted 636) Monday, December 20, 1714. The numbering of Vol. VIII. is incorrect: 578 is misprinted 579; 584-586, 590-592, 596-598 misprinted 585-587, 591-593, 597-599; 602-604 misprinted 603-605, there is no 607, and 620 is misprinted 610.

Volume VIII. has the imprint: "London: Printed by S. Buckley in Amen Corner, and J. Tonson in the Strand; where Advertisements will be taken in." The first two numbers (556 and 557) contain the announcement: "To be continued every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."

Each number consists of one folio leaf, similar to Number I described above, with a classical quotation varying each day. The words "To be Continued every Day" were not printed after the first number, and in No. XVI the imprint on the verso was increased by the addition: "where Advertisements are taken in; as also by Charles Lillie, Perfumer, at the Corner of BeaufordBuildings in the Strand." Nos. XVII and CCCCLXXIV do not contain the addition, and it is discontinued from CCCCXCIX to the end of Volume VII.

"Price Two-pence" first appears at the bottom of No. CCCCXLIV.

Inserted are two legal papers containing contracts and agreements between the publisher and Addison and Steele.

There was a ninth volume, from Monday, Jan. 3, 1715, through August 5, a spurious continuation by William Bond. The present copy was formerly in the libraries of Lord Hope

and the Earl of Munster.
