Ft Charles Dupla, in his new work, entlthed'a Pro-
' ductive and Comm-reit& Fortes of Prancer alludes to
a *Uvular diminution in the height okhe French, which
has taken place since the Revolution. According to
the Returns presented to the Chambers in 1826, by the
Minister of War, it seems, that out of 1,038;422 youths,
who appeared before the Councils of Revision, there
were 380,213 rejected, because they did not even reach
the low stature of four feet ten inches (five feet one inch
and fottr.fifths of au inch English). This curious tact
led him to er.amine the cause of this diminution in size
of the French race, which he states to be theorises of the
Revolution, because they cut down more particularly
the virile pan of the population; and also the inferior
food of the working classes. The extreme repugnance
which these classes yet manifest for vaccination, the
imprudent liberality with which hospitals for foundlings
have been endowed, and the numerous facilities of tup-
port afforded to poor or seduced mothers, have also
appeared to M. Dupin positive causes of the enfeebling
of the present generations. •
