DESCRIPTION:From 1665 the newspaper the London Gazette was published twice
  a week from the offices of the Secretaries of State. It was “published 
 by authority” and conveyed foreign news\, government notices and private
 ly placed advertisements. In this paper I use surviving fragmentary accoun
 ts to explore who profited from the sale of the newspaper from the hawkers
  on the streets of London to the postmasters who received it as payments f
 or information. I argue that the London Gazette needs to be understood as 
 part of late seventeenth-century commercial print culture as well as part 
 of state-organised public and private information networks.
