This French translation, dating from 1549, must have been bought in the long ago by some master-workman in church vestments, on account of the pictures, full of useful information upon the Saints.

It was a great while since Angelique had given any attention to the little old carved images, showing such childlike faith, which had once delighted her.

But now, as soon as she was allowed to go out and play in the garden, she took the book with her.

It had been rebound in yellow calf, and was in a good condition.

She slowly turned over some of the leaves, then looked at the title-page, in red and black, with the address of the bookseller: "a Paris, en la rue Neufre Nostre-Dame, a l'enseigne Saint Jehan Baptiste;" and decorated with medallions of the four Evangelists, framed at the bottom by the Adoration of the Three Magi, and at the top by the Triumph of Jesus Christ, and His resurrection.
