By Joseph Addison, Sir Richard Steele and others. First published in 271 numbers three times a week, 12 April 1709 to 2 January 1710 [i.e. 1711] using the editorial pseudonym 'Isaac Bickerstaff' 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. The title-page vignettes after Francis Hayman are engraved by C. Grignion and S.F. Ravenet. ESTC t99975.
Binding Late C18th marbled tree calf, gilt-tooled spine, marbled endpapers. Uniform with the 1797 set of The spectator (q.v.).
Reference Number 5580
Additional Names STEELE, Sir Richard (1672--1729); Addison, Joseph (1672--1719). Dialogues upon the usefulness of ancient medals. French
