THE ENGLISHMAN, London, Sept. 2, 1715

  • Rare 18th century title
  • Richard Steele fame

This is one of the more rare British titles from the early part of the 18th century, published by the famed Richard Steele and being a continuation of his newspaper "The Guardian". It ran for just 95 issues. One writer noted it: "...targeted (and to some degree, created) the rising London middle class, both men and women, offering readers an exemplary mix of ethical inquiry, philosophical speculation, and domestic advice...".
Single sheet, 7 by 12 inches, some older archival repairs near margins, nice condition.
