 198 Nolcs a}id Ahtvs Vittorio-Euianucle dc Rome conccrnant I'Histoirc dc France, XVII'- XIX' Siccles (Paris, Champion, 1906, pp. 80, extr. from the Revue de Bibliotheques, January-February) and Les Archives Pontificates et I'His- toire Moderne de la France noted in our last number as having appeared in Le Bibliographe Moderne and since printed separately by Jacquin, Besangon (1906, pp. 114). A new and entirely revised edition of the Bibliographic des Bcnc- dictins de la Congregation de France by the Fathers of the same Con- gregation (Paris, Champion, 1906, pp. xxviii, 190) contains more than 10,000 titles of volumes, articles and collections concerning history and the auxiliary sciences. A biographical notice of each author is given and a bibliography of works relating to the abbeys and the orders. The subject of Die Nortnannen und das Fr'dnkische Reich bis sur Griindung der Normandie (799-911) (Heidelberg, C. Winter, pp. xv, 442) is treated at length by W. Vogel in the latest number (14) of the series of Hcidelberger Abhandlungen sur Mittleren und Neucren Geschichte, edited by Karl Hampe and others. The thirteenth number of the same series is a study of Die Kdmpfe der Araber mil den Karo- lingern bis sum Tode Ludwigs II. (pp. 93) by G. Lokys. Button and Company have published a new English version by Mrs. Ethel Wedgwood of the Memoirs of the Lord of JoinviUe (1906, pp. 428). During his researches in the London Public Record Office, M. Eugene Deprez discovered a great number of missives of the English kings, dat- ing from 1272 to 1485, written for the most part in French, and largely relating to the history of France. While the royal letters in Rymer's Foedera are the official letters patent and close, the series that has hitherto remained unprinted consists of personal and private corre- spondence, issued under the privy seal. The Societe de I'Histoire de France has accepted M. Deprez's proposition to publish the most im- portant of these letters in three or four volumes of its collections. M. J. M. Vidal's Le Tribunal d' Inquisition de Pamicrs (Toulouse, Vidal, 1906, pp. 313) is based upon a study of Vatican manuscripts and throws new light on the religious history of southern France. Several pontifical documents, and documents of the Inquisition, all dating from the fourteenth century, are included. Du Breuil's Stiljis Parlamcnti — an important text for the history of French law and institutions — is announced for publication in the Collec- tion de Tcxtes desfince a I'Stude et a I'Enseignement de I'Histoire (Paris, Picard). M. Henri See, the well-known economic historian, has published a work on Les Classes Rurales en Bretagne du XVI' Steele a la Revolu- tion (Paris, Giard and Briere, 1906, pp. 545). The Commission on the Economic Life of the French Revolution has
