Edited by John Nichols, who signs the advertisement 'J.N. Red-Lion-passage, March 25, 1786'; with notes and 'Additional Tatlers' by the editor. First published as 'The Tatler' in 271 folio numbers three times a week, 12 April 1709 to 2 January 1710 [i.e. 1711]. 'Isaac Bickerstaff' was the editorial pseudonym of Joseph Addison, Sir Richard Steele and others, borrowed from a spoof pamphlet by Jonathan Swift in 1708. About 188 numbers were by Steele, who was also the projector; 42 by Addison and 36 by them jointly. The Tatler was aimed to appeal to the coffee house readers and was a great commercial success; its winding up in 1711 was probably due to its association with the Whig movement, and Steele's next periodical, the Spectator, which began publication on 1 March 1711, was resolutely non-partisan. Like its successor (1767 ed., q.v.), the Tatler went through numerous collected editions. Additional half title-pages read: The Tatler, with illustrations and notes, historical, biographical, and critical. In six volumes. 1786. ESTC t98535.
Copy Notes In vol. I gathering d4 (pp. xli--xlviii) is misbound between Dd2 and Dd3 (pp. 404--5).

Additional Names Nichols, John (1745--1826); STEELE, Sir Richard (1672--1729); Addison, Joseph (1672--1719). Dialogues upon the usefulness of ancient medals. French; Isaac Bickerstaff, pseudonym
