Le Gaulois Scheme Lets Merchants Pay Subscriptions
A Paris revival idea by Le Gaulois offers to fund reader subscriptions through merchants listed in a Livre d Or. Subscribers buy from these houses, send receipts to the paper, and the journal counts purchases as payment for a year’s subscription. The plan includes charity substitutions if desired, with a table showing yearly costs and purchase thresholds.
