Froissart's Modern Chronicles, 1902. Told and Pictured by F. C.
Gould. (T. Fisher Unwin. 3s. 6d.)—This, the second series of Mr. Gould's Froissart, is as delightful as the first. The pictures are equally happy, and we should say eqiially good-tempered, though possibly the outsider is not so competent a judge on that point as the statesmen caricatured. Perhaps the most delightful picture of all is the King going out hunting with the Emperor of Almaine. The King is accompanied by all his Ministers, many of whom are falling off or hanging round their horses' necks in the -agonies of the chase. The letterpress is as good as the pictures, and we congratulate Mr. Gould most heartily on his achievement. Any one who wants a good laugh cannot do better than get the book. And by all means let special attention be paid to the exquisitely humorous picture entitled ". Sir John Froissart Converseth on the Way with Augustine de Eirrell."
