This is a beautiful little volume, printed in the antique style, containing a very good translation into the French language of Chaucer’s sweet little poem, ‘ The Flower and the Leaf.” The great advantage to Énglish students of French, or French students of English, is that the original ° 18 on the opposite page to the translation. The book is got up very neatly, and speaks well for the learning, care, industry, and taste of the well-known author of the translation.—{(The Bristol Advertiser, January 26, 1856.)

We had almost begun to fancy Chaucer a sealed book to foreigners, and very nearly so to not a few natives. ‘The Chevalier de Chatelain has read Chaucer to some purpose. He has drunk a deep draught from the very fountain of English Hterature—the well of Saxon undefiled—and given its beauties to his compatriots with wonderful fidelity. Bibliomaniacs will be gratified at the typography—a facsimile of the Louis Quatorze style: and the parallel pages of English and French render it an admirable study for the acquisition .of either idiom !—The Northern Times (November 29, 1856).
