Excerpt from Sinnett's Picture of Paris: Comprising a Retrospective Historical Sketch of the Rise and Progress of the City; A Comprehensive Description of the Most Remarkable Public Buildings, Parks, Churches, Etc.; Preceded by Notices of the Various Routes From the Coast to the Capital Private Funds. - The Traveller, for eight or ten pounds, will be able to pass a fortnight very pleasantly, seeing all that is worthy of observation, residing at a respectable hotel, and taking back with him a few elegant cadeaux for absent friends. As the exchange is generally in favour of London, it will be as well to change only about three pounds into French money before starting, then change only as occasion may require, that he may not have any French money when he returns. In London, the sove reign is equal to 25 francs; in Paris, to 25% francs, and occasionally a few sous more. The franc is worth ten pence.
