This document, likely dated 1778, is a receipt for the delivery of an encyclopedia by Pierre Gosse Jr. and D.-Pinet, a pair of booksellers operating in The Hague, Netherlands. The document uses formal language, typical of the time, and contains several handwritten notes. It is a testament to the importance of encyclopedia sales in the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the world of bookselling in the Netherlands.
