He met [[Jonathan Swift]] in Ireland and remained there for a year. Later, he helped form the [[Kitcat Club]] and renewed his friendship with Richard Steele. In 1709, Steele began to publish the ''[[Tatler (1709 journal)|Tatler]]'', and Addison became a regular contributor. In 1711, they began ''[[The Spectator (1711)|The Spectator]]''; its first issue appeared on 1 March 1711. This paper, which was originally a daily, was published until 20 December 1714, interrupted for a year by the publication of ''[[The Guardian (1713)|The Guardian]]'' in 1713. His last publication was ''The Freeholder'', a political paper, in 1715–16.<ref>Smith, Adam James. '''A Certain Design': The Partisan Strategy of Joseph Addison's The Free-Holder."''
