These early issues of The Spectator are indeed available for purchase. It may be that you are also able to find copies of them in your local library. These issues were most recently republished by the Adamant Media Corporation in 2001 and are still available for purchase on Amazon and other reputable online bookstores.
Between 1711 and 1712, The Spectator was published six days a week, which is why such a huge number of issues were amassed over such a seemingly short period. The issues of The Spectator published between 1711 and 1714 covered social issues and politics with an emphasis upon high society and high wit. This 1711–1714 run of The Spectator is actually completely distinct from the modern magazine known as The Spectator, although the modern namesake has written a number of articles referring to its association, or non-association, with the former.
There are eight volumes still in print containing the editions of The Spectator published between 1711 and 1714. You can find them on Amazon through a search for "The Spectator 1711–1714, Steele and Addison," or via this link.

From your answer to my previous question, it seems that I did not make myself clear concerning the issues of The Spectator that I am interested in obtaining copies of. It is my understanding that 635 issues were published during the period from March 1, 1711 through December 1714. These issues were subsequently collected in 8 volumes containing the complete Spectator covered by this time period. Are these volumes available for viewing or purchase?
