ARCHITECTURAL STU- 



r\ DIES IN FRANCE. By the REV. J. 

 L. PETIT. With Illustrations from Draw- 

 ings by the Author and P. 11. DELAMOTTE. 

 " Our notice of thi« work has been unavoid- 

 ably delayed until this season for hand'some 

 and attractive books, and it would be difficult 

 to meet with a volume combining so many 

 first-rate illustrations with a subject worthy of 

 them. It is not only a splendid Christmas 

 book, Hut a really Christian book ; for surely 

 a work conveying information and illustra- 

 tions relating to some of the finest specimens 

 of Christian temples, is entitled to be so cha- 

 racterise''. Mr. Petit is already well known 

 for his architectural works, which are justly 

 held in high estimation ; but if we recollect 

 right, this is the most elaborate and handsome 

 volume which he has yet produced." — English
