		Mesplet was attracted by the province of Quebec, where, as he had no doubt learned, there was only one printing firm, and he set out for the capital early in 1775.
		Mesplet fits the American model in having been primarily a printer and journalist, in contrast to his European counterpart, who was a printer and bookseller.
		Mesplet’s Gazette became Voltairian and anticlerical, condemning the ignorance of clerics engaged in teaching; it called Bishop Hubert of Quebec a Christian despot in articles criticizing the excessive number of public holidays and denounced his obscurantism for opposing as premature a proposal for a mixed Catholic and Protestant university.

		Founded by Fleury Mesplet, the Gazette's principal contributor was Valentin Jautard, a lawyer who frequently published articles of literary criticism under various pseudonyms, most notably that of Le Spectateur tranquille.
		Towards the end of the 18th century, a literary field had yet to develop in the Province of Quebec.

		The subject, moreover, was of peculiar interest to the editor of that paper, Valentin Jautard, and its printer, Fleury Mesplet, since both had just experienced direct pressure (and were soon to experience a good deal more) from the British administration of the Province.
		Mesplet, while a resident of Philadelphia, had printed the empassioned appeals addressed to the French Canadians by the Continental Congress in 1774 and 1775; Jautard was suspected, with good reason, as a supporter of the American cause.
		First of all, Mesplet himself had little or nothing to do with what actually went into his paper: surviving correspondence demonstrates that he had neither the education nor the commitment for such a task.

		Even after 1800, when journals, handbills, almanacs, and music were printed and came on the market, the colonial government took a dim view of freedom of the press.
		Fleury Mesplet, a printer who had worked in London and Philadelphia, journeyed to Montreal in 1776, and although he published 150 titles in addition to newspaper and commercial printing before his death in 1794, his life was plagued by government interference and imprisonment.
		Several decades later in 1826, the printing office of William Lyon Mackenzie’s Colonial Advocate in York (now Toronto) was vandalized by members of the political establishment.
