Related Items:Issues published from May 1777-June 1778 appear also to have been published as: Courier politique et litteraire, then re-issued as part of this paper with new title labels, "Courier de l'Europe," pasted over the originals; volume number and date added in MS. It appears probable that there was a disagreement among the editors in early 1777 and the other title represents a split and re-absorption into this publication. See ESTC P6444, 006478534 and 006478535 for a description of these issues.
