Jeremy D. Popkin argues persuasively that the \u003ci\u003eGazette de Leyde\u003c\/i\u003e maintained a special kind of superiority even after the revolution brought freedom of the press and hence a huge proliferation of papers onto the French market. Although the paper made no claims to represent public opinion, it certainly did its share to shape it and thus to guide events.\u003c\/p\u003e (American Historical Review) \u003cp\u003eThe 'political culture' of the ancien régime is a subject that is increasingly attracting the attention of historians.
