ABSTRACT
British periodical, 1704-13 This periodical was conducted by Daniel Defoe, it is thought singlehandedly, from 19
February 1704 until the end of July 1712. The original title, A Weekly Review of the Affairs of France and of All Europe, as Influenced by That Nation, was changed to A Review of the Affairs of France and of All Europe, with Observations on Transactions at Home later in the year, and then, at the beginning of 1706, to A Review of the State of the English Nation. Only the first eight numbers appeared weekly. Thereafter, the periodical was published twice a week for about a year, and then three times a week. Beginning in August 1712, a new series entitled simply the Review appeared twice a week until n June 1713. The entire body of writing Defoe produced in this journalistic enterprise amounts to some 5610 pages.
