The Daily Gazetteer was an English newspaper which was published from 30 June 1735 until 1746. ^[1] The paper was printed for T. Cooper, at the Globe in Pater-Noster Row, London by W. Arnall et al.

In June 1740 the opposition essay-paper The Champion joked that postal “Clerks of the Road” would not let it travel by post “for fear, perhaps, it shall quarrel with the Gazetteer upon the Road.” ^[2]

The Gazetteer and New Daily Advertiser was printed by Charles Say until his death in 1775, after which it was printed by his widow, Mary Say. ^[3] Say published three papers but the Gazetteer was the only daily publication. ^[4] The London Gazette paper was then published as
