E. Lameere's Z^ Grand Conseil des Dues de Bour^ogne de la Maison de Valois (Brussels, Cas- taigne). M. R. Genestal, in his La Tenure en Bourgage (Paris, A.

It is announced that in the Cambridge Historical Series (University Press) there will shortly appear two volumes on The Froich Monarchy, i483-ij8g, by Mr. A. J. (irant, professor of history in the Yorkshire College at Leeds. Upon occasion of the Paris Exposition M. Henri Avenel has pre- sented to the ministry of commerce a voluminous report entitled Histoire de la Presse Fran(aise depuis lySg jusqui nos jours (Paris, Flammarion, pp. 892). The sixth series of Baron Alberto Lumbroso's Miscellanea Napo- leonica contains a large number of letters of Napoleon heretofore un- printed, some of them derived from the proof-sheets of the Correspond- ance de Napoli'on /., from which they were ultimately dropped. The volume on Napoleon (London, A. L. Humphreys) upon which Lord Rosebery has long been at work, is especially concerned with Napoleon's residence at St. Helena. The book is published in the United States by Harper and Brothers, and is entitled Napoleon : 77ie Last Phase. Souvenirs Contemporains, by the Marquis de Belleval (Paris, Vivien, pp. 432) is an amusing and interesting book, having especial value for its description of the entourage of the Comte de Chambord.
