Memoirs of the San son Family : Seven Generations of Executioners. By HENRI SANSON. Trans- lated from the French, with Introduction, by CAMILLE BARRERE. " A faithful translation of this ciirious work, which will certainly repay perusal not on the ground of its being full of horrors, for the original author seems to be rather ashamed of the technical aspect of his profession, and is commendably reticent as to its details, but because it contains a lucid account of tJie most notable causes celeb res from the time of Louis XIV. to a period within the memory of persons still living. . . . Can scarcely fail to be extremely entertaining.'" DAILY TELEGRAPH.
