GAZETTE NATIONALE, OU LE MONITEUR UNIVERSEL. A good run of this important Paris newspaper, issued almost daily (a few holidays excepted). This run covers the first half of 1791, a crucial period in the development of the French Revolution. While all manner of news is reported, including bulletins from French colonies in America, most of the paper is devoted to domestic politics, with detailed reports of debates, meetings, speeches, votes, etc. Most issues are four pages, with some longer issues. A primary source for events of the Revolution, culminating in the attempted flight of the royal family in June 1791.
