Excerpt from The Spectator, Vol. 1 of 8: With Illustrative Notes; To Which Are Prefixed the Lives of the Authors; Comprehending Joseph Addison, Sir Richard Steele, Thomas Parnell, John Hughes, Eustace Budgell, Lawrence Eusden, Thomas Tickell, Alexander Pope
NO performance has been, nor is more generally agreeable and useful than the spectator. It is sure prising, therefore, that no Editor of so excellent and popular a work has ever thought of prefixing the Lives of the Authors to his Edition. That the reader may, whilst he is contemplating the beauties of the spec tator, have it in his power to examine the history of those to whom the beauties are owing, the Editor of this Edition has prefixed the Lives of the Authors.
