^^Have yen seen a book iast published by M. Jusserand, of the French Embassy, eotiiled *■ English Wayfariog Life in the Middle Ages'? If not, let me assure j^ou that the sooner you get it the better for yourself and your frieods, for you are certain to talk about it and talk oui of it, and in proportion as yoQ do 80 vii! Uie liveiiness of your conversation be remarked uponi The book isa translation and an amplification of one of those enchanting volumes which only Frenchmen seem able to flash ont upon literature. *La Vie Nomade' was published in 4884. It was a gem, written in a style that provolces and worrles some of us,because it is so lucid, so simple, 60 vigorous, that we island folk feel in despair of attaining to such graceful précision of language as we read. Now the book appears in an English form and whith its English title, very much increased in bulk, and one of the best illustrated volumes of tho season — dressed, in fact, in purple and fine linen — a plessure to handle, a joy to read, and bearing with it, when one gets to the end of it, a conviction that one bas become a mucn more learned man than one was a week ago, for that somehow one bas absorbed a great deal that the outer world knoTvs little about. Pray do not order this volume at the library. Buy it if you are wise, and keep it as a joy for ever." — Dr Jessopp, in the Nineteenth Cenlury, February.
