Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 16 of 45: With Prefaces Biographical, Historical and Critical
The Guardian was in effect a continuation of the Spectator, under another name. It was conducted on the same plan, and with the same laudable intentions. It was published daily until October 1, 1713, N° 175, when it was abruptly closed, in consequence of a quarrel between steele and tonson, the bookseller.
