London Chronicle

London Chronicle

The "London Chronicle" was an early family newspaper of Georgian London. It appeared three times a week and contained world and national news, and coverage of artistic, literary, and theatrical events in the capital.

A typical issue was eight pages, quarto size. Many of the stories were copied from government reports published in the official "London Gazette". Copying from other newspapers was rife, and many reports were in the form of letters from so-called gentlemen.

Originally titled "The London Chronicle: or, Universal Evening Post" it first ran from 1757 to June, 1765.

It was continued by "The London Chronicle" which appeared in 113 volumes from July 2, 1765 to April 23, 1823.

It was then absorbed by the "Commercial chronicle" and continued in its original title ("London chronicle: or, Universal evening post").

In 1823 it was absorbed into the "London Packet".
