From Wiki: "The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine, or, Monthly Political and Literary Censor (1798 to 1821), a conservative British political periodical, was founded by John Gifford [pseud. of John Richards Green] (17581818) after the demise of William Gifford's The Anti-Jacobin, or, Weekly Examiner (1797-1798). Gifford and Andrew Bisset were the chief writers, and the political philosopher James Mill wrote reviews. Described as "often scurrilous" and "ultra-Tory," [1] the journal contained essays, reviews, and satirical engravings, notably by James Gillray. It grew out of the political ferment of the period and was a vocal element of the British Anti-Jacobin backlash against the ideals of the French Revolution." Hardbound.

"Addison was famous as an English essayist, poet, and statesman. Educated at Charterhouse, where he was a classmate of Richard Steele, and at Oxford, where he became a distinguished classical scholar. His travels on the Continent from 1699 to 1703 were recorded in 'Remarks on Italy' (1705). Addison first achieved prominence with 'The Campaign' (1704), an epic celebrating the victory of Marlborough at Blenheim. The poem was commissioned by Lord Halifax. Its great success resulted in Addison's appointment in 1705 as undersecretary of state and in 1709 as secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland. He also held a seat in Parliament from 1708 until his death. Addison's most enduring fame was achieved as an essayist. In 1710 he began his contributions to the Tatler, which Richard Steele had founded in 1709. He continued to write for successive publications, including the Spectator (1711-12), the Guardian (1713), and the new Spectator (1714). His contributions to these periodicals raised the English essay to a degree of technical perfection never before achieved and perhaps never since surpassed. In a prose style marked by simplicity, order, and precision, he sought to engage men's thoughts toward reason, moderation, and a harmonious life. His works also include an opera libretto, 'Rosamund' (1707); a prose comedy, 'The Drummer' (1716); and a neoclassical tragedy, Cato (1713), which had an immense success in its own time. In his last years Addison received his greatest prominence. In 1717 he was made secretary of state, an office he resigned the following year. The period (1714-1719) was also marked by failing health, a supposedly unhappy marriage, and the severing of his relations with his good friend Richard Steele." - Columbia Encyclopedia. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
