Encyclopedia of European commerce, vast tableau of the state of commercial exchanges, national particularities, the state of currencies, exchange rates, and the price of goods (wines, metals, cloth...) in all markets. The author thus gathered precise and concrete data on 18th-century commerce, offering an unequaled compendium for the merchant and indispensable testimony for the historian and economist. The author was a Bordeaux merchant who settled in Amsterdam in 1685, as evidenced by the first chapters on commerce in Holland and Amsterdam, and on the West India Company.
