Notes: This project brings together a variety of original manuscript sources from the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, dominated by the Gazette Manuscript, a manuscript newsletter documenting the period 1775-1793. These manuscript sources provide unique evidence on commerce, politics, and society in France, particularly during the years 1775-1793, but also stretching back as far as the reign of Louis XIV with fragments from the Melanges Litteraires dating from 1682, when the court moved to Versailles and the sudden death of Colbert in 1683. There are many letters which indicate that commerce, mercantilism and new industrial enterprises were thriving in the 1770's.
