Founded in 1825 by Charles Lautour-Mezeray and Émile de Girardin, the review appeared every five days and covered literature as well as sciences, fine arts and social customs. It published mainly historical chronicles, travel accounts and society pieces on France or foreign countries, stories and novellas, or sections devoted to theatre, fashion, court news and miscellaneous items, most often reprinted from other newspapers of the time.
