The goal of ''The Spectator'' was "to enliven morality with wit, and to temper wit with morality... to bring philosophy out of the closets and libraries, schools and colleges, to dwell in clubs and assemblies, at tea-tables and coffeehouses." Keeping with the values of Enlightenment philosophes of their time, Addison and Steele were advocates of family, marriage, and courtesy. A well-known literary character created by the paper was Sir Roger De Coverley , an English squire of Queen Anne 's reign. WHAT WERE THE INITIAL GOALS OF THE SPECTATOR?
