nearly all our cities. We have an ig-
norance about China almost as colossal
as that land"
The great joy in this book. however,
is the pleasant way the information is
administered. At the end of the long
romantic tales one finds that the
knowledge gained is great and it has
been almost unconsciously and quite
happily absorbed. The description of
the strange tribes of whom we never
learn but in vague way, in our his
tories and textbooks, are quite as en-
tertaining as informing, and the per-
sonal note-the feeling of being led
by the hand along this wonder route
adds greatly to it's charm. The book
deserves the highest praise from every
point of view and is sure to receive
recognition everywhere.

"The Royal Family
in the Temple Prison"

By Jean Baptiste Caut-Hanet, called Slerv
Published by Sturgis & Walton, New York.
Price $50.
The publishers of THE Royal Family
in the Temple Prison" have with this
book inaugurated a Court Series Of
French Memoirs which makes direct
appeal to all readers. The series will
contain valuable historical documents,
but will not be brought out in costly
editions, far beyond the reach of the
book buyer of moderate means.
This first volume is Clerys Journal.
Clery was appointed barber. to Louis
XVI in 1882. His formal name was
Jean Baptiste Caut-Hanet. The book
contains a supplementary chapter on
the last hours of Louis XVI by his
confessor, Liable Edgeworth de Fir
mont. and the whole is translated from
the French by Z. Jules Meras.
Clery was an intense royalist and
managed somehow to have himself ap-
pointed valet to the king when the
royal family were imprisoned in the
temple, famous tower once owned by
the Knights Templar. The prisoners
were at first confined in the large and
luxurious tower which had been fur
nished and occupied by the archivist
of the temple, NJ. Barthelemy. But on
September 81 the king was transferred
to the large tower and q month later
the queen and the other members of
the royal family were taken there.
This journal by Clery is a narrative
of the five months in the prison. AL
though he was in the service of the
does not go into details of the 10 years,
for all sorts of historians and makers
of memoirs have done that, as he
knows. but he begins his tale on the
10th of August, 1892, the awful day
on which a few men overthrew a throne
which had existed for IA centuries, put
their king in chains and cast France
into an abyss of disaster"
CIery gives the most complete de-
tails. of the prison life of the family,
particularly of the king and his young
son. and tells of the insults TO which
the king was subjected. The journal
closes with the kings departure to his
execution. The added chapter is en-
titled "The Last Hours of Louis XVII
and is written by the confessor, Liable
Edgeworth de Firmont. The kings
viii is also given, written shortly be-
fore his sad death. The book is a hu-
man document; written by one who
would have given his life for his king
any day. 1t is pathetic in the extreme
and the simple and direct style is very
impressive.
