''The Protestant philosopher Bayle was its main editor between March 1684 and February 1687, before being taken over by Daniel de Larroque (1660-1731), Jean Barrin (1640-1718) and Jean Le Clerc until April 1689. Suspended for ten years, the review was taken over by the Calvinist pastor Jacques Bernard until December 1710, who interrupted it before resuming it in January 1716. The last issue was in June 1718. Although written entirely in French, the News from the Republic of Letters was published monthly in Amsterdam to circumvent censorship. The publisher was Henry Desbordes, installed in Kalverstraat from 1684 to 171, then David Mortier (1716-1718) bimonthly and always in Amsterdam. The journal contained a series of critical reviews of works published by booksellers throughout Europe, as well as excerpts from selected works. 33.
