The copious racy vocabulary of Urquhart's " Rabelais," 

 the odd quirks and flourishes, the gusto and swing of the 

 rollicking narrative, can never fail to delight liberal readers. 



The publishers of the present edition claim to have dealt 

 handsomely with Rabelais and Sir Thomas Urquhart. 

 They invited a very distinguished French artist, Mons. 

 L. Chalon, to paint a series of oil-colour illustrations, 

 which have been reproduced by Dujardin. The originals 

 were lately exhibited at the Cercle Artistique, in the Rue 

 Volnay, Paris, where they were awarded a First Medal. 



Prefixed to the translation is an essay on Rabelais 

 (specially written for this edition) by a scholar of European 

 reputation, M. Anatole de Montaiglon, whose knowledge 

 of early French literature is certainly unsurpassed and pro- 

 bably unequalled. Facsimiles of rare title-pages of early 

 French editions accompany the Introduction. 



The volumes are printed by Messrs. Whittingham in 

 the best style of the Chiswick Press,
