The Traveller's companion and guide through France, Flanders, Brabant, and Holland. In which is a description of the courts of France and Brussels; and all things curious in the churches, chapels, convents, &c. in those several countries; with a particular account of their different coins, compared with their value in English. A work much wanted, and never before published; being calculated for the benefit and information of all strangers going into those countries, either on business or pleasure, and to prevent their being imposed on; for, by following this book, they will travel at near one half of the expence. To which is annexed, by way of appendix, a list of the post-roads in France, great part of Flanders, and from Paris to Madrid in Spain; as settled and ordered, February, 13, 1753, by count d'Argenson, grand master, and sur-intendant general of all the general post offices in France; shewing the exact number of leagues or miles from place to place, and what is to be paid for post-horse, post-boy, &c. Translated from the French.
