- Abstract
\"The Spectator\" and \"The Guardian\" were some of the first periodicals in the 18th century in England. Both were published by Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison, essayists, play writers, journalists and politicians. This work presents briefly the historical background, as well as the biographies and other works of Steele and Addison. The Brukenthal Library is in the possession of a republication from 1747 of the first volume of \"The Spectator\" and another republication from 1750 of \"The Guardian\". There is also a sample in French: \"Le Spectateur\", Amsterdam, 1722. Our aim was to draw the attention upon some novelties in the Brukenthal library such as these periodicals of 18th century.
