Gloires et Souvenirs Militaires. Par Charles Bigot. (Hachette.) —This volume,
which is very handsomely illustrated in colours, contains selections, adapted, we presume, to the purpose (d'apres lee Memoires), from the personal recollections of a number of French soldiers, among whom the most famous are Marmont, Comte Philippe de Segnr, Bugeand, and Saint-Arnaud. The Napoleonic wars and the campaigns in Algeria and the Crimea supply the subjects. English readers will find much to interest them, though, indeed, there is little that concerns their own country.
We cannot do more than record the appearance of a work on which manifestly much labour has been spent, The Old Dramatists, Conjectural Readings, by K. Deighton (A. Constable and Co.)— The dramatists, Marston, Beaumont and Fletcher, Peele, Marlowe, Chapman, Heywood, Greene, Middleton, Dekker, and Webster, are the subjects of Mr. Deighton's labours.
