FRANCE
The author of the Bibliotheque des Voyages remarks, that no country in
Europe has been so imperfectly described by travellers as France:
certainly, if we compare the descriptions they give of it with the
descriptions given by travellers of other countries, there appears good
ground for this observation. And yet France offers a rich harvest for
travellers of almost all kinds: the customs and usages of the people;
the general character so strongly stamped on the whole nation, and the
various shades of it in different provinces; the effects that have been
produced by the different events of their history, and especially by
their revolution; all these things present to the traveller, who studies
human nature, rich and ample materials.
