Author
The Spectator is documented in Fuller’s letters and published essays (1845–1846). No work is named in the surviving passages, most often in Letter to Richard F. Fuller, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.

Inferred Fuller explicitly names The Spectator and describes reading its favorable review of her Papers on Literature and Art, noting it "quite surprised me by its praise." Hudspeth identified the specific issue as 26 September 1846 and quote the review's praise of her "full and discerning mind." Fuller is reading the review immediately upon arrival in London.
