"The paper, print, and binding of this series leave nothing to be desired in point of taste and attractiveness."—Nation.

"This work may be regarded as the most thoughtful and profound of all the productions of the author. . . . The pages abound with the vigorous descriptions that form a fascinating element in his general writings."—N. Y Tribune.

"Deserves to be closely and carefully studied. . . . Strikes us as far superior to his former productions."—London Saturday Review.

(Being the second volume on "The Origins of Contemporary France." It is expected that the series will contain one more volume on the Revolution, and two on France since the Revolution.)

A superb presentation volume, with nearly 250 illustrations in Doré's early, careful manner. The illustrations are not confined to the scenery, but also refer to many of the adventures, tragic and grotesque, that be- set the traveller, and, what is of more interest and importance, many of the legends of that historic and romantic country from Froissart and the other old Chroniclers.

"It is rarely that a book is printed in so perfect a combination of the book-making trinity, author, artist, and publisher, as is this superb work."—N. Y. Evening Mail.

"A marvel of beauty."—Boston Transcript.
