TEN YEARS OF IMPERIALISM IN FRANCE. Impressions of a "Flaneur." Second Edition. In 8vo, price 9s.

"There has not been published for many a day a more remarkable book on France than this, which professes to be the impressions of a Flaneur.... It has all the liveliness and sparkle of a work written only for amusement; it has all the solidity and weight of a State paper; and we expect for it not a little political influence as a fair, full, and masterly statement of the Imperial policy--the first and only good account that has been given to Europe of the Napoleonic system now in force."--Times.
