Passing into the nineteenth century we find among the 
French the following of a satirical nature: Le Testament du 
Viable (1822) ; 5 the Mon Testament of Cizos (1815) ; 6 7 Testa¬ 
ment serieux et Burlesque d’un maitre Savetier (1830). 7 The 
moral testament reappears in the Testament ou conseils fideles 
d’un bon pere a ses enfants, by Fortin de la Hoguette, pub¬ 
lished in a fifth edition in 1851. 8 
Among the Spanish and Portuguese peoples the animal testa¬ 
ment has during the past two centuries, been a very popular 
form. In the catalogue of the British Museum may be seen 
a list of testaments ascribed to no less than twenty-one different 
animials. 9 
In Germany, too, during th© nineteenth century the testa¬ 
ment found its way into literature. In Ludwig Tieck’s drama, 
Ver Blaubart, written in the first decade of the century, Claus, 
the fool, is made to make his testament. 10 Heine, too, about 
1856 wrote a Term'dchtniss in which he takes occasion not to 
spare his enemies. 11 
Among the English-speaking people the testament has during 
the XIX century from time to time made its appearance. 
Daniel Martinett, dying in Calcutta about 1825, saw fit to in¬ 
sert in his will directions for his burial and satirical gifts for 
his enemies. 12 One of the American school readers contains a
