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

Some scattered foxing and fold marks, otherwise handsome interior condition for this rare example of a literary and general review from the early 19th century.
