THIERS' HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. Roy. 8vo, cloth extra, 155.

"The History of the French Revolution by Thiers is a celebrated and popular book in France-and I believe in Europe. It combines the compactness and unity of the book, the order and arrangement of the journal, the simplicity of the biography, the valuable and minute details of the autobiography, and the enthusiasm, the passion, and the indignation of the pamphlet. There are in many parts of this great book, whole chapters which read as if they had been written with the sword." -JULES JANIN, in the Athenæum.
