|  Joseph Addison was a schoolboy in London together with Richard Steele, his lifelong friend. They wrote together the 1st newspaper called “Coranto”, a Spanish word. It was made by sheets of paper stuck in Harbors and they contained information about raw materials, time tables of departure and arrival of ships, prices of goods, tides, and later some gossips(such as children who were born, some birthday). Newspapers were addressed to middle-class because they wanted to read some practical things about themselves. Newspapers developed enormously because they satisfy the need of middle-class. The model of newspapers was the Gentleman. He called the newspaper “The spectator”, with the meaning of “The spectator of life”.

This very large building cost some 80,000 pounds: it is an enormous cost. The Royal Exchange was a symbol of the British trade, because prices were established there. It was rectangular according to model as modularity, clarity, order, equilibrium. The short essay has a simple, colloquial, direct and clear style, but an accurate vocabulary. “Merchants” are ironically as people who find work for the poor and distribute gift of nature, but it is false, a great distortion or reality, but this is what the reading public wanted to hear.
