en Bois du Temps. Lyon,impr. de Louis Perrin (Février bone and steel petticoats. M. de la Fizelière has selected 1859). Tiré à 100 exemphires numérotés."

The revival of the laws gainst the usurpation of titles has told upon the booksellng trade in Paris; now that the Conseil du Sceau des Ttres is reorganised, and that a new d'Hozier has become indispensable, pamphlets, brochures, books without nunber, are appearing every day, discussing genealogical toxics, the minutiae of heraldic lore, or even the very exisence of the aristocracy itself. M. Anatole de Barthélemy lelongs to the last named class of writers; he examines fom a political point of view the question of the aristocray, and in his pamphlet, after having proved the necessity of creating a kind of peerage, he goes on to show on whatǝrinciples that peerage should be constituted. The first part of M. de Barthélemy's work contains an historica summary of the origin of the aristocracy in France. He points out the absurdity of the scheme of equality forced upon the nation at the time of the first revolution," cette prétendue égalité qui est la mort des nations e la négation de la liberté." Perfect equality is worse than an Utopian fancy; it is a monstrosity, because it goes against the decrees of Providence, and the most elementary laws of our human nature. We can safely say that the existence of an aristocracy is the necessary condition of the happiness of a nation; it is for want of such an intermediate class that we have seen, to quote M. de Barthélemy's own words, "le spectacle douloureux et scandaleux du trône trainé dans la boue, de monarques chassés; et dans le désordre, pas un lien pour réunir les hommes honnêtes et éclairés, et leur permettre de tenr tête à la populace.” As a remedy for this deficiency the author recommends the introduction of a system nearly similar to the one adopted in England: we would add, however, that if the regulation of titles, ranks, and armorial bearings is susceptible of being settled at once by virtue of a decree, it is far more difficult to create the thing itself. A landed aristocracy cannot be formed at an hour's notice; and even supposing that the Bonaparte dynasty becomes finally established in France, it will require some time before it can raise between itself and the people the wholesome medium of an influential noblesse.

M. Louis de Baecker confines himself to researches on the Flemish nobility in France: his little book has, therefore, more of an antiquarian than a political character. It includes some very interesting strictures on the feudal system, and a most suggestive chapter on the classification of family surnames. His remarks, although immediately limited to his northern compatriotes, are susceptible of a far wider application, and can illustrate the history of any other country in modern Europe.

Next to the question respecting titles of nobility, the crinoline-nuisance is perhaps the one most actively discussed at the present time. We take up a smart looking brochure, elegantly printed, ornamented with an appropriate frontispiece, and we want to know what M. Albert de la Fizelière has to say on the subject. Our author begins with a proposition which is almost a truism: “La coquetterie des femmes est plus ancienne que le monde;" and then he undertakes to prove that crinoline, far from being a modern invention, is only the revival of a fashion long ago criticised by satirists and denounced by pulpitorators. We are not aware whether some of our fair readers thus supplied with precedents by M. de la Fizelière will quote, in favour of crinoline, the famous rule of Vincent Lirinensis: "quod semper, quod ab omnibus," etc. etc.; but the quotations put together in the volume we are now considering are extremely amusing, and the petite bibliographie des stoles, basquines, vertugales et paniers," which the author has subjoined, includes no less than twenty-four distinct publications referring to whale

as his motto the two following lines of Horace; they seem, says he, "faits à plaisir pour servir d'épigraphe à un traité de la crinoline" :

"Si interdicta petes, vallo circumdata (nam te

Hoc facit insanum) multæ tibi tum officient res." The Trésor des Piéces rares ou inédites, published by M. Aubry, will be, when completed, a curious storehouse of literary gems. Some volumes belonging to that collection have already been examined in the columns of "N. & Q." The present one is certainly one of the most important, embracing as it does a variety of documents relating to the murder of King Henry IV. of Navarre, and to the subsequent trial and execution of Ravaillac. An enumeration of the several pieces contained in the volume will best give the reader an idea of its value:

1o. The narrative of the king's death, taken from the Mercure François for 1611. The facts are minutely stated by the contemporary journalist, and his account is both correct and impartial.

20. Instruction du Procès, faicte par les Srs. Président Jeannin, de Loménie, Secrétaire d'Estat, et de Bullion, Conseiller d'Estat. This piece here printed from MSS. recently discovered by the editor, supplies many curious biographical details about Ravaillac, and it is singular to remark the refined barbarity with which "plusieurs genres de supplices" were imagined and seriously proposed by zealous royalists to draw from the murderer the names of his abettors.

3o. Interrogatoires. - The examination of Ravaillac may be found in the Mercure François for 1611, and the Mémoires de Condé; but the text given by M. Aubry is much more satisfactory, and supplies a number of readings derived from a MS. which belonged to Joly de Fleury, Solicitor-General to the Parliament of Paris. 4°. Confirmation des Témoins.

5o. Arrest de la Cour de Parlement.
6o. Procès Verbal de la Question.
7o. Notes.

The murder of Henry IV. was the cause of a multiplicity of pamphlets now for the most part excessively scarce, and in which the Jesuits on the one side, and the Gallicans on the other, explained the melancholy event. The fury of the Leaguers was not yet forgotten, their hatred of the king had not yet subsided, and accordingly the violence of party spirit found a ready vent in thousands of diatribes which now lie buried amidst the dust of public libraries. The list of these pamphlets, although necessarily incomplete, extends over forty pages of M. Aubry's book, and are a really valuable appendix to it. A woodcut portrait of Ravaillac has also been added.

Antoine Vérard is well known by bibliographers and amateurs for his beautiful black-letter editions, his talent as an artist, and his enterprising spirit as a publisher. La Caille, Dibdin, Brunet, De la Borde, and many others have spoken of him at considerable length, but amongst much that has been said of his publications, we find very few allusions even to the beautiful woodcuts adorning the editions which came from his presses. This omission has been rectified by M. J. Renouvier in a suggestive notice printed by that facile princeps of all French typographers, M. Louis Perrin of Lyons. Prayer-books, devotional works, illustrations of the Dance of Death, histories, books on science, old poets, romances of chivalry, poetry: such are the various headings under which M. Renouvier has classed his observations. The conclusion of the whole matter may thus be stated. Verard was habitually both the composer and the engraver of the woodcuts, and although the roughness and want of finish in some of them proves that he occasionally borrowed the assistance of inferior hands, yet" il n'en fut pas moins

maître dans toutes les branches de son art, pour diriger, dessiner et manier au besoin le canif et le rouleau."

The illustrations added to this monography consist of two woodcuts from the Dame Macabre avec les trois vifs et les trois morts, two copies alone of which are known, printed on vellum.

Amongst M. Aubry's publications, we must also notice a reprint of three scarce works relating to the marriage of Louis XII., King of France, with the Princess Mary, sister of King Henry VIII. of England. This alliance, concluded in the year 1513, when the French had suffered serious losses, when Bayard, La Palisse, Longueville, Lafayette, Clermont d'Anjou, Bussy d'Amboise were prisoners, was determined upon with the hope that it might change the turn of affairs, and secure to Louis the support of a powerful neighbour. The result of this transaction, we need scarcely inform our readers, was not satisfactory, Louis XII. having died a very short time after his marriage; but the reception given to the Princess Mary surpassed in magnificence every other ceremony of the same nature; and contemporary chroniclers, such as Fleurange and le loyal serviteur, bear witness to the general enthusiasm displayed on behalf of the young bride. We shall now enumerate the three narratives contained in the brochure of M. Cocheris.

1o. Sensvit lordre qui a este tenv à lentree de la Royne à Abeville. This piece, described by the learned editor as de la plus grande rareté, is mentioned by Lelong (Bibl. Hist. No. 26,165), and by M. Ch. Dufour (Essai Bibliographique sur la Picardie, No. 702); but it appears in no trade catalogue. The copy used on the present occasion belongs to the Mazarine library in Paris (No. 22,028). 2o. Lentree de la Royne a Ableville (sic). M. Cocheris says that three editions of this pamphlet must have been published on the same day, as he has met with three copies entirely different from one another. The text here printed is the one supplied by the copy preserved amongst the collection of the Mazarine library. Specimens of the two other editions may be seen at the Imperial library in the same city.

3o. Lentree de très excellente princesse madame Marie dAngleterre et royne de France en la noble ville cite et vniversite de Paris, faicte le lvndij vi. jovr de novembre lan de grace mil cinq cens et quatorze.

Several editions of this piece have also been printed; M. Cocheris in his preface describes four which present differences either in the text itself or in the illustrations.

The whole volume, issuing as it does from the press of Louis Perrin, is a typographical gem. The singular woodcuts which have been added by way of illustration will show what grotesque pictorial embellishments were deemed sufficient five hundred years ago for the popular works of the day.
