CHRONOLOGY.

1431. Joan of Arc, the maid of Orleans was burnt. This cruel death was

inflicted on her, in consequence of the remarkable events hereafter

narrated. Her memory is revered by Frenchmen, and rendered more popular,

through a poem by Voltaire, eminent for its wit and licentiousness. One

of our own poets, Dr. Southey, has an epic to her honour.
