Anonymous.-CHINESE Illustrated Book. Small folio. Boards, [69] covered with red silk, tied with two strings, in close case with bolts.

· This is a most interesting book. It was handpainted at Shanghai, China, and is without Title-page or imprint. It consists of twelve sheets of Illustrations (three to a sheet), of which the last (after Eastern fashion) is the first. The sheets are of ricepaper, and have been mounted on rag-paper and bordered with narrow silk ribbon by way of protective edgings to the rice-paper leaves. The workmanship is exquisite and the heads of the several figures are admirably drawn and coloured with great brilliancy, the dresses, furniture, and utensils being embossed so as to stand out in relief. Opposite to each illustration are a few descriptive Chinese characters. The topmost illustrations on the twelve sheets form one series, the midmost a second, and the bottommost a third. The book, though without a title, might fairly be named “Deeds in this life "and their consequences." The uppermost series consists of twelve scenes of evil or good deeds done in this life. In the midmost we see the principal actors in the first series arraigned in the underworld before the Judges and undergoing the terrible punishments or happy rewards which are awarded as the consequence of the good or evil done in this world. The undermost series shows the principal actors, after the expiration of their terms in the underworld, living anew, by transmigration of soul, in the body of some animal or new human being.

A memorandum, explanatory of each illustration, has been prepared and placed with the work.

Anonymous.-CHRONICLES OF THE BASTILE. First Series. The [70] Bertaudière. An Historical Romance. London: T. C. Newby. 1845. 8vo. Half morocco, edges gilt. 40 Illust. a. c.

... This is a fine copy of a scarce work. The work was originally published in serial numbers. When first issued there happened to be a book advertised in Paris under the same Title, and the Author was accused in several reviews of copying, plagiarism, and what-not. The works were entirely dissimilar except in Title. When the Bertaudière was translated into French the Author naïvely wrote " he would not be surprised "were he next accused of having plagiarized himself.”

The Illustrations are by Robert Cruikshank (1790-1856), an elder brother of the celebrated George Cruikshank.

The volume closes with "An Episode" entitled “The Iron Mask, 1697-1703.” The facts stated are given only as preliminary to "The Embassy or The Key to a "Mystery," forming the Second Series of the Chronicles of the Bastile.
