1790 Gazette de Leyde 105 Issues & Supplements -Valuable Americana

Description: A complete run of the newspaper Gazette de Leyde for the year 1790 The bibliographer Joseph Sabin states, “this valuable journal is of the highest importance for the history of America. Each number is divided into two parts, each of four pages, the second of them bearing the title «Supplement aux Nouvelles’ is very often entirely filled by the news from America. The editor of this Gazette, Mr. Luzac, was a very learned man, of high, liberal principles, who fostered and encouraged to his utmost the contest of American United States against England. He was in correspondence with the heads of the American Revolution, and especially with J. Adams. These relations enabled him to publish many of the most important documents, as he himself says, ‘le premier en Europe’.” (Sabin 26810) In the same year of the present run Thomas Jefferson opinion on the Gazette de Leyde was of the highest consideration as explained by the National Archives in an editorial note titled “Jefferson’s Alliance in 1790 with Fenno’s Gazette of the United States”.
