"On 11 April 1715 ... [Lewis Theobald] began in Mist's journal the Censor, a series of short essays on the model of the Spectator, which appeared three times a week, ceasing with the thirtieth number on 17 June. Eighteen months afterwards they were resumed (1 Jan. 1717) as an independent publication running on to ninety-six numbers. When they were discontinued later in the same year, they were collected and published in three duodecimo volumes."--Dict. of nat. biog., v. 56
