I will resume my account of Geneva in my next.
Yours, &c.
SOUTH OF FRANCE. 153 Geneva, May 14, 17 89.
ALTHOUGH the houses in this city are not so high as those at Lyons, yet it is so populous that two families often live in one story. They have often common stair-cases as at Lyons; but wooden floors was a luxury that we had not been used to for some time.
They count here by florins, which is an imaginary coin, worth twenty sols ; and three sols of France are worth four and a half of this place,... there are also three, six, ten and a half, and twenty sol pieces ; but French money passes here, as does that of Switzerland, which as it is very frequent, causes great perplexity from the variety of coins.
154 JOURNEY TO THE The dress and manners of the Genevese, bear much more resem- blance to the English than the French. * The Rhone is here divided into two branches, after coming out of the lake ; the water of it is so clear that it looks quite blue, and is very rapid.
Part of the town is so old, that there are high wooden arcades ; which, when it is hot, are very pleasant to walk under; as you are protected from the heat of the sun by them.
