A compilation of all issues from the year 1721 of the Leiden-published, French-language newspaper Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits (known colloquially as the Gazette de Leyde ). Nouvelles Extraordinaires was the most important newspaper of record in Europe between the late-17th- to late-18th century, covering international politics, diplomacy, and commerce in the lingua franca of the time.
These issues bear the header “Avec Privilege de Nos Seigneurs Les Etats de Hollande & de West-Frise” with a publication footer that reads “Jouxte la Copie de Leide”. The first issue in the book was published on 10 January 1721; the final issue was published on 21 December 1721. The compiler pasted in leaves of the second-most-important foreign gazette, the Gazette d’Amsterdam , for two dates: 26 August 1721, and 28 October 1721, additions presumably meant to supplement coverage for major international events.
