Excerpt from Perregaux Et Sa Fille la Duchesse de Raguse
A côté de ces financiers fastueux, on voit appa raitre dès le début du xviiie siècle les banquiers suisses. Travailleurs, intelligents, doués pour les affaires, ils tiennent bientôt le premier rang dans toutes les Opérations de banque qui se traitent à Londres et à Paris; ils fondent rapidement de nombreuses maisons dont la plus célèbre est, sans contredit, celle du négociant genevois Thélusson, qui prend comme associé, puis comme successeur, son comptable, le fameux Necker.
