Joseph Addison (1672-1719) and Richard Steele (1672-1729),The Spectator, 8 vols. (London, 1711-1714), a periodical intended "to enliven morality with wit, and to temper wit with morality" (No. 10). "The Spectator was a daily publication founded by Addison and Steele in England, lasting from 1711 to 1712. Each "paper," or "number," was approximately 2,500 words long, and the original run consisted of 555 numbers, beginning on 1 March 1711. These were collected into seven volumes. The paper was revived without the involvement of Steele in 1714, appearing thrice weekly for six months, and these papers when collected formed the eighth volume." (Wikipedia)
