_Herbé's "Costumes Français."_--The valuable work by M. Herbé, _Costumes

Français; Civiles, Militaires et Religieux_, 4to. Paris, is doubtless well

known to your readers.

I have heard that after its publication sundry persons, judging perhaps

from the eccentricity of many of the costumes, doubted their accuracy, and

even considered them the result of M. Herbé's fancy; and that that

gentleman, annoyed at the imputation, subsequently published another work

citing his authorities.

Query, Can any one verify this statement? and if true, inform me of the

title of this latter work; and whether it is to be found in any library in

this country, and where?
