THE GIL BLAS OF THE REVOLUTION.
By L. B. PICARD.
“The ‘Gil Blas of the Revolution’ is a remarkable production. Its
delineations bear the impress of truth and reality. By means of his
versatile Hero, the author has been enabled to sketch the physiognomy,
both private and public, of the various parties that fought for
precedence, and successively devoured each other. This task he has
executed with scrupulous exactitude and impartial truth, so that his work
may be considered as offering a valuable record of the state of society
during the memorable twenty-five years that intervened between the reigns
of Louis XVI. and Louis XVIII.”—_New Monthly Magazine._
