treraely interesting, and is one which may he taken up at any time for 
light and pleasant reading. It seems, however, unfortunate that in a hook 
intended for the English reader all, or almost all, the illustrations are taken 
from French authors and artists, no mention being made throughout the 
hook, unless we are much mistaken, even of such men as Hogarth, Reynolds, 
Gainsborough, Turner, and Ruskin. In the translation there is, it seems to 
us, one serious error : in a work translated from the French one does not 
expect to find such words or phrases as bizarreries , en rapport, qui vive, and 
many more, which are scattered through the book, while we cannot see any 
reason why “ Dieu me pardonne ” should he left in French in a quotation 
which, with that exception, is translated into English.
