Episodes of the French Revolution in Brittany. By 0. Len6tre.

(T. Nelson and Sons. Is. 3d. net.)—M. Lenetre, well known as a divoted student of the Revolution, gives in this book a detailed account of the terrible cruelties of Carrier, representing the Committee Of Public Safety, at Nantes, where suspected Royalists and Federalists, men, women, and children, were drowned in batches or murdered in other ways. It is a black page of history. Carrier himself was guillo- tined not long after.
