Colonel William A. Phillips

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.
