ABSTRACT
Inside the City of Paris the carriage of money from one house to another usually costs 5 sols per bag of 1000 livres. The Receiver of Taxes in this example has 50,000 livres to send to Paris, and the agents of the Chalons Wine-merchants have 50,000 livres to send to Chalons. Let the agents of the Chalons wine-merchants take the 50,000 livres to the cashier of the Tax Office at Paris. The Agents or correspondents of the Wine merchants of Chalons and of others who have sent goods or merchandise from Chalons to Paris have the money for these sales in hand at Paris. In all Places and Cities which use the same money and the same gold and silver specie like Paris and Chalons sur Marne, London and Bristol, the charge for exchange is known and expressed by giving and taking so much percent above or below par.
