Fanfan la Tulipe. Texte par P. Bilhaud. Illustrations par "Job."
(Hachette.)—This is an amusing story, told in verse of the very easiest French, how Fanfan la Tulipe, so-called from being found in a bed of tulips by an old gardener, said one day- " Jarcliner ne m'amuse mare,
Sloi, je vondrais faire is guerre;”
how he enlisted, distinguished himself in peace and war, how he rose to be corporal, serjeant, Lieutenant, and so on up to Field-Marshal, but not without sacrifice, for- " elleano grade, Iilas, et pour canal, Lai cofitait tonjours quelque chose ; Quand i1 tat gdudral. eh Bien, 11110 lai restait prescine nen."
The illustrations, with the military figures in eighteenth-century costume, are excellent.
