A travel-style account, reprinted from Chambers' Journal, of a visit to the French national industrial exposition in Paris. The author walks through the exhibition building and compares French and English manufactures, including ironware, machinery, glass, silver, furniture, pianos, paper, leather and shoes. Textiles get only a short passage near the end, covering lace, silk and gold brocades, carpets, woollens and cotton fabrics, with a note on the cotton manufacturer Richard Lenoir.
