SPECTATOR, No. 383 9 Spring Garden, or Vauxhall, was a favorite pleasure-resort of the eighteenth century. It lay on the south side of the Thames, and could be reached by land or water. It was opened immediately after the Restoration, was exceedingly popular in the second half of the eighteenth century, and was finally closed in 1859. See The London Times, July 26, 1859. Eighteenth century literature is full of references to it. See AUSTIN DOBSON'S. Eighteenth Century Vignettes, vol. i. 19 Temple Stairs.

These were: the Egyptian pyra 43 mids, the mausoleum erected by Artemisia at Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the hanging gardens of Babylon, the statue of Zeus by Phidias in the temple at Olympia, the Colossus at Rhodes, and the Pharos, or lighthouse, at Alexandria. 50 on this side Temple Bar, on the Westminster side of Temple 52 fifty new churches. An act of Parliament passed in 1711 had decreed the building of fifty new churches to accommodate the increasing population of London. SPECTATOR, No. 517 "In No. 1 of the Bee (for February, 1733) Eustace Budgell, who set up that publication, and who probably was the intimate friend of Addison's to whom he there refers, said of Sir Roger de Coverley, Mr. Addison was so fond of this character that a little before he laid down the Spectator (foreseeing that some nimble gentleman would catch up his pen the moment he quitted it) he said to an intimate friend, with a certain warmth in his expression which he was not often guilty of, By God, I'll kill Sir Roger, that nobody else may murder him.' Accordingly the whole Spectator No. 517 consists of nothing but an account of the old knight's death, and some moving circumstances which attended it. Steele had by this date resolved on bringing his Spectator to a close, and Addison's paper on the death of Sir Roger, the first of several which are to dispose of all members of the Spectator's Club and break up the Club itself, was the first clear warning to the public that he had such an intention.". HENRY MORLEY. See Spectator, Nos. 530, 541, 549, 555, for accounts of other members of the club. Other papers in which reference is made to Sir Roger are Spectator, Nos. 100, 127, 137, 141, 221, 271, 295, 338, 410, 424, 435, 518. APPENDIX I TRANSLATION OF THE MOTTOES [The translations of the mottoes are taken from Henry Morley's edition of The Spectator.] The following paragraphs are interesting, as illustrating Addison's idea in using the mottoes: "When I have finished any of my Speculations, it is my Method to consider which of the ancient Authors have touched upon the Subject that I treat of. By this means I meet with some celebrated Thought upon it, or a Thought of my own expressed in better Words, or some Similitude for the Illustration of my Subject. This is what gives Birth to the Motto of a Speculation, which I rather chuse to take out of the Poets than the Prose-writers, as the former generally give a finer Turn to a Thought than the latter, and by couching it in few Words, and in harmonious Numbers, make it more portable to the Memory. "I must confess, the Motto is of little Use to an unlearned Reader, for which Reason I consider it only as a Word to the Wise. But as for my unlearned Friends, if they cannot relish the Motto, I take care to make Provision for them in the Body of my Paper. If they do not understand the Sign that is hung out, they know very well by it, that they may meet with Entertainment in the House; and I think I was never better pleased than with a plain Man's Compliment, who, upon his Friend's telling him that he would like the Spectator much better if he understood the Motto, replied, That good Wine needs no Bush.” — Spectator, No. 221.
