When Adam Boig, the projector of the first Edinburgh courant died on Jan. 27, 1710, the Privy Council's warrant to publish a paper of that name died with him. The Privy Council authorised Daniel Defoe to print the Edinburgh courant in place of the deceased Boig but it was several weeks before his first number appeared and a rival paper, the Scots courant, continuing the numbering of the original Edinburgh courant was also published.
