Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Limited Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Very Good+ condition and is lacking the plain paper wrapper (dust jacket). Limited to 455 unnumbered copies, printed for the The Book Club of California by the Grabhorn Press. Tipped in is an original page of The Spectator from Friday Dec. 21. 1711 (Num CCLIV) which starts off with a humorous letter to a happily married woman about how she should comport herself in the society of TOWN life. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is an ink stamped previous owner's name to both front and rear pastedown pages. The text pages are clean and bright. "But Addison and Steele were at least conscious that, all being well, they would make a good job of it, for when they launched The Spectator in 1711, they possessed invaluable and illuminating experience. They had scored an almost instantaneous success with The Tatler, which maintained its success and achieved an enviable prestige; in short, they knew how to go about it when they planned the yet more famous periodical."
