" Mons. IL J. V. de Candole, French master of Clifton Collège and lecturer at the Bristol University Collège, has brought before the public, in an interesting form, one of the finest of Ponsard's productions. ' Le Lion .amoureux ' is the seventh volume of Hacheite's séries of modem French authors, a séries of spécial value and attractiveness to the more advanced class of students. The biogr.ipliical sketch, which enters thoroughly into the spirit of Ponsar l's style, is at the saine time a compreUensive statement of his

life and work and a careful criticism of his position in French literature

The notes and biographical index are copions and useful, tlie work of a mind well acquainted with the requirements of modem study in its auvanced stages. They give to the Jinglish scholar a distinct idea, which would otherwiso be ditiicult of attaiumiut, of the whole purpose of the Freuch dramatist ; and make it possible for him to grasp, with as much ease as a French reader, détails that, withouc tham, would be passaj over unperteived and unappreciated. ' Le Lion Amoureux ' is to be coramended to teachers of French as more tlian usuilly interesting in itself, and rendered doubly so by il. Candole's method of treating it." The IVestern Daily Fress.

Hachette ana Co. M. de Candole is also to be complimented on the efflcient manuerin which he has edited this little volume."
