THE SPECTATOR. With Sketches of the Lives of the Authors, and Explanatory Notes
by ADDISON, Joseph and Richard Steele
- Used

Edinburgh: Bell & Bradfute et al. Eight volume re-binding set, bound in contemporary tooled calf. 1816. 12mo, "The Spectator" was a daily publication issued in London from 1711 to 1712 by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. . Each "paper" or "number" was approximately 2,500 words long, and the original run of "The Spectator" consisted of 555 numbers. These were collected into seven volumes. The paper was revised, without the involment of Steele, in 1714, appearing thrice weekly for six months, and these papers when collected formed the eigth volume. (Wikipedia). Our set is complete and shows marbled endpapers and foredges. The contents of each volume are unmarked except for some inevitable, albeit light, foxing. Attractive bookplate on inside front cover of each volume of Marjorie E. Kingsmill. The spines of all volumes are quite rubbed, such that the lettering is faint. The boards of all volumes are rubbed and scuffed with the rear board of volume II having become detached (but present). The boards of two other volumes are a bit bowed. All joints are very tender and rough handling of any volume would cause the boards to detach. That being said, the stitching of the text block of all volumes is pleasingly strong and thus restoration costs would be accordingly reduced. The price is for the complete set. .

These are heavy volumes that are prone to binding failures when handled improperly. Some of these volumes are sound, some strengthened with new endpapers, some where binding is starting. None have failed bindings. The earlier volumes show more general wear to the boards than later volumes. I have prepared a more complete condition report on each volume so feel free to inquire. Shipping will be actual cost to me not more (weight of this is about 44 pounds). Please see images of the books you will receive. Notes: a quite interesting set with maps, charts and images of warships in every volume. An incredible feat of research that took 33 years to complete. (Civil War)
