Thomas Salmon (1679–1767) was an English historian and geographer renowned for his extensive historical and geographical compilations intended to make the world known to European readers. His works belong to the Enlightenment movement, marked by growing interest in exploration, ethnography, and the comparative description of nations. This volume offers a detailed description of the geography, politics, economy, and customs of the Seven United Provinces, the Austrian Netherlands, as well as the Swiss cantons and their allies. The contemporary binding shows wear, a few light stains, and a patina of age. 431 pages
