Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits

Front cover (first page) of the Gazette de Leyde from 29 August 1786

Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits (English: "Extraordinary News from Various Places") or Gazette de Leyde (Gazette of Leiden) was the most important newspaper of record of the international European newspapers of the late 17th to the late 18th century.[1] In the last few decades of the 18th century it was one of the main political newspapers in the Western world.[2][3][4][5]

It was published in French in Leiden, Netherlands.[6] At that time the Netherlands enjoyed a significant freedom of the press.[7] Its circulation likely exceeded 10,000, and it may have reached even up to 100,000.[8][9]
