The Guardian was a short-lived newspaper published in London from 12 March to 1 October 1713. [4]
It was founded by Richard Steele [5] and featured contributions from Joseph Addison, Thomas Tickell, Alexander Pope and Ambrose Philips. Steele and Addison had previously collaborated on the Tatler and The Spectator (after which the present-day Spectator and Tatler are named).
Button's Coffee House in Russell Street, Covent Garden, acted as an ad hoc office for the newspaper. [6] Contributors submitted written material in a marble lion's head letterbox, said to have been designed by the artist William Hogarth, for possible publication in The Guardian.
The Gentleman's Magazine [7] followed on the heels of The Guardian, being touted by Richard Steele as a sequel of it.
