L'Intelligence was a French political journal created by republican socialist Albert Laponneraye in 1837.
[1] During its brief existence, L'Intelligence was a popular periodical among not only the working class in major French cities like Paris and Lyon, but enjoyed substantial popularity in Switzerland as well.
'[2] Richard Lahautière, friend and closest collaborator of Laponneraye, served as editor-in-chief of L'Intelligence.
Marie Pierre Gabriel Étienne Choron, a lawyer who would later be elected Mayor of Soissons and a member of the Chamber of Deputies, also served in an editorial position and defended the publication in court.
[3] Following the failed insurrection by the leaders of the Société des Saisons in 1839, Laponneraye ceased publishing the periodical.
