" Mr White's ' History of France,' in a single volume of some 600 pages, contains every leading incident worth the telling, and abounds in word-painting whereof a paragraph has often as much active life in it as one of those inch-square etchings of the great Callot, in which may be clearly seen whole armies contending in bloody arbitrament, and as many in- cidents of battle as may be gazed at in the miles of canvass in the military picture-galleries at Versailles." — Atheaceum. " An excellent and comprehensive compendium of French History, quite above the standard of a school-book, and particularly well adapted for the libraries of literary institu- tions." — National Review.

We very highly prize the publica- tion." — British Standard.
