Any suggestions?
As I've said before, this blog's going to get crammed with articles from the Spectator archives. You've already seen one of them already, as well as a classic piece from our 1711 forbear. Many, many more have been earmarked for inclusion.
We'd love to hear your suggestions as well. Is there any event - from the past 180 years - that you'd like to see the Spectator's original take on? Or would you like the work of any particular Spectator writers to have the dust blown off it, and posted up here? Just write your suggestions in the comments section below.

April 25th, 2008 6:57pmI would very much like the Spectator to do a piece Chamberlain in 1938 and the mood of the nation on appeasement. Lord Halifax and Chamberlain followed appeasement. How close was Britain to doing nothing (as Lord Halifax and Chamberlain wanted. Who forced thro' the treaty with Poland that triggered WW2?
Many thanks

Its virtually identical to the magazine site.
Otherwise, its nice to see the magazine moving with the times.

May 1st, 2008 12:31amThanks for the suggestions everyone. I've just returned from a trip abroad, so I'll head back into the archives, and you can expect relevant posts over the next few days.
Ian C: There's plenty of good stuff on the Reform Acts (as you'll see shortly). But I just thought I'd point out the Spectator famously supported the '32 Act with the phrase: "the Bill, the whole Bill and nothing but the Bill"...

May 1st, 2008 4:05pm"In a despicable move, the normally moral stalwart British began imprisoning Boer women and children in concentration camps. Over 26,000 of these innocent civilians died in the British concentration camps." And all because the might of the British forces resented the Dutch farmers use of successful guerilla tactics.
Did the Spectator write anything about this shameful episode in Britain's history?
