This table includes the titles of London political papers circulating between 1695 and 1720 that I have been able to find. I have not listed all of the exclusively literary or diverting papers, of which there are many. I have included significant provincial papers in the list, sans characterisations, just to give some indication of that activity, though my primary concern here is with the London periodicals. The provincial press is the subject of G. A. Cranfield’s The Development of the Provincial Newspaper (Oxford University Press, 1962) and C. Y. Ferdinand's Benjamin Collins and the Provincial Newspaper Trade in the Eighteenth Century (Clarendon Press, 1997). Irish and Scottish titles are not listed here.

For several of these titles, either few or no extant issues are to be found, in which case there is obviously very little information to be provided. Even if no issues survive, however, we do need to be aware that such journals existed. Column 1 lists electronic sources where available; the key is given below. Papers available from Eighteenth-Century Collections Online tend to be reprinted collected volumes. The number of issues available at that location are given in parentheses only where the number is less than 50. In some cases, of course, there are copies in multiple research archives; the location information given here is not exhaustive. I have included only the most significant instances of title changes. Columns 3 and 4 give commencement and termination dates where known. Where price is given (column 5), that information comes from issues of the paper in question unless otherwise stated. Column 6 gives frequency of publication: annual, monthly, weekly (1x), biweekly (2x), triweekly (3x), or daily (6x). Where two frequencies are given (e.g., 2x/3x), that indicates that a paper's publication schedule shifted at some point during its run. Contributors are named where known (column 7), sometimes tentatively (?), as in the case of some of the Defoe attributions. Column 8 provides printers, publishers, and/or booksellers where known; ‘various’ indicates that these figures changed several times across the life of the paper.
