Rare; OCLC lists only one copy at the BnF. The author starts his work with a rather extensive description of France: “La France est une des plus florissantes des plus agréables contrées de l’Univers.” While other countries do not receive such glowing praise, the author does describe numerous countries, including, among others, Spain, England, Sweden, Switzerland, Mongolia, China, Japan, Egypt, the Congo and Mexico.
