L'Ami du peuple, ou, le Publiciste parisien : journal politique, libre et impartial / par une société de patriotes, et rédigé par M. Marat. [Paris : de l'imprimerie de Marat], 1789-1792. No. 1 (sept. 12, 1789)-no. 685 (sept. 21, 1792)
Marat, Jean-Paul2013-06-11Jean-Paul Marat was a French revolutionary, journalist, and scientist. He was the editor of a weekly journal entitled L’Ami du people which lasted from no. 1 (sept. 12, 1789)-no. 685 (sept. 21, 1792). "L’Ami du peuple comprises nearly 700 issues published in octavo between September 1789 and September 1792. Most issues were eight pages long, though some issues stretched to twelve or sixteen pages. Pagination of the earlier volumes was somewhat irregularly organized, while every issue after number 70 is individually paginated. The collection contains more than 1.5 million words and nearly 50,000 unique word forms. The newspaper is a notable example of French Revolutionary populism, and Marat frequently ran into trouble with the authorities in the earlier days of the newspaper’s publication for his criticism of those in power. Printing of the journal was suspended on numerous occasions, often due to the fact that Marat had gone into hiding. The newspaper was named Le publiciste parisien for its first five issues, but Marat changed the name to L’Ami du peuple in the sixth issue. This name remained with the newspaper until the end of its print run, when Marat was elected to the National Convention. Marat would go on to publish other newspapers, under different titles, until his death at the hands of Charlotte Corday on July 13, 1793." (ARTFL descriptive summary, http://artfl-project.uchicago.edu/content/lami-du-peuple, 11 June 2013) Stanford does not have its own copy of this journal, but we identified the most complete run in the US at the New York Public Library, and arranged for them to digitize it for us in their labs. We sent the files to ARTFL, which sent them out to be double keyed by one of their regular vendors, followed by the addition of minimal TEI markup (divisions, heads, some paragraphs, and page tags); quality assurance, image correction, etc. This is Stanford Library's copy of all files associated with this project.

(ARTFL descriptive summary, http://artfl-project.uchicago.edu/content/lami-du-peuple, 11 June 2013) Stanford does not have its own copy of this journal. These files were made from originals held in UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library, as part of a joint project. This is Stanford Library's copy of all image files created by UCB associated with this project. The ARTFL Project at University of Chicago also used these files as a basis for the text files of this title in their database. Because of the title changes and duplicate issues, for the most detailed information on issues included, see the UC Berkeley catalog record.
