Notes
Founded by the Jesuit professor and pamphleteer Joseph-Antoine (Giuseppe) Cerutti in September 1790, his editorial role was taken over by Philippe-Antoine Grouvelle and Pierre-Louis Ginguené after his death in February 1792 until August 1795. Following a dispute with the original publisher Desenne, the Cercle Social took over responsibility for its publication after July 1792.
As the newspaper's subtitle indicated, it was ’Adressée chaque semaine à tous les villages de le France pour les instruire des Lois, des Evénements, des Découvertes qui intéressent tout Citoyen’, and this didactic journal often resembled a school textbook. Its guiding motto was, "If an enslaved people must be held under the yoke of ignorance, a free people needs the restraint of instruction".
