' LA PEBOUSE.' (See ante, p. 3.) I should like to say how much interested I was in West's print illustrating the cutting of the Baddeley cake which appeared in the first number of * N. & Q.' for this year. That chimpanzee from ' La Perouse ' in the fore- ground had for me quite a pathetic signi- ficance. There must have been rivers of English tears shed over this play. Nothing since its time, save perhaps the ' Uncle Tom's Cabin ' dramas in the Northern States about the Secession War period, has ever equalled it in this respect. People in Eng- land wept over the dark, mysterious fate of La Perouse, as they did later over that of poor Marie Antoinette herself. His ill- starred expedition was so English in in- ception and design as to exhibit a palpable touch of that tiniest form of flattery, imitation ; and, though at the outset a little jealousy may have been felt by us, all this was quickly forgotten in the presence of the tragedy in which the incident closed. In the dark days of .Revolutionary horrors later, and for years afterwards, the story of La Perouse' s abortive voyage of discovery, " a noble but unsuccessful effort to turn the French mind in a new and better direction,' 1, was like a grateful oasis in a horrid waste, where wearied memory loved to linger and think of what " might have been." Even Carlyle, in his ' French Revolution/ has a sentimental line or two about this brave adventurer's undertaking in the hapless Louis's earlier days, which " also shall not prosper" ; and now here, in this cutting of Baddeley 's cake, we are reminded once more of it all, and how long the sad incident re- mained a dramatic inspiration for our for- bears. One would like to come across a copy of that play in which West's chimpanzee figures. MONA.

' BOOK OF ALMANACS.' The notice of Fry's 'Almanacks for Students' at 11 S. xii. 312 suggests the thought that De Morgan's ' Book of Almanacs ' is not now easily accessible. It is an oblong octavo, published in 1851 jby Taylor, Walton & Maberly. ...It contains 37 almanacs, of which
