The Review is a periodical written and published in 9 v. by Daniel Defoe.  Vol. 1 consists of 102 no., no. 1-7 having title "A Weekly review of the affairs of France"; with no. 8 (Apr. 1, 1704) the title was changed to "A Review of the affairs of France," and numbers were issued thenceforward each Tuesday and Saturday.

Vol. 2 continues the title "A Review of the affairs of France" on t.-p. and individual numbers.  Beginning with no. 8 (Mar. 22, 1705) a Thursday issue was added, and publication was continued with 3 no. a week. Vol. 2 includes a semiweekly supplement, entitled :The Little review; or, An inquisition of scandal" (no. 1-23; June 6-Aug. 21, 1705)
