In 1713, soon after publication of the Spectator had come to an
end, its place on breakfast tables of Queen Anne's London was taken
by the Guardian. Richard Steele, continuing in the new paper the
blend of learning, wit, and moral instruction that had proved so
attractive in the Tatler and Spectator, was the editor and
principal writer; in the 175 numbers of the Guardian he included 53
essays by Joseph Addison, as well as contributions by Alexander
Pope, George Berkeley, and several others, some of whom doubtless
transmitted their papers through the famous lion's head letterbox
that Addison had erected in Button's coffeehouse. "These papers,"
as John C. Stephens writes in the introduction to his edition of
the Guardian, "helped to form and to shape the morals and manners
of countless generations in Britain and abroad." This first modern
edition of the Guardian was prepared from the original printing of
the papers, is fully annotated and indexed, and includes a
comprehensive introduction discussing especially the authorship of
the individual essays.
