' LA PEBOUSE.' (See ante, p. 3.) I should
like to say how much interested I was in
West's print illustrating the cutting of the
Baddeley cake which appeared in the first
number of * N. & Q.' for this year. That
chimpanzee from ' La Perouse ' in the fore-
ground had for me quite a pathetic signi-
ficance. There must have been rivers of
English tears shed over this play. Nothing
since its time, save perhaps the ' Uncle
Tom's Cabin ' dramas in the Northern States
about the Secession War period, has ever
equalled it in this respect. People in Eng-
land wept over the dark, mysterious fate
of La Perouse, as they did later over that
of poor Marie Antoinette herself. His ill-
starred expedition was so English in in-
ception and design as to exhibit a palpable
touch of that tiniest form of flattery,
imitation ; and, though at the outset a little
jealousy may have been felt by us, all this
was quickly forgotten in the presence of the
tragedy in which the incident closed. In
the dark days of .Revolutionary horrors
later, and for years afterwards, the story of
La Perouse' s abortive voyage of discovery,
" a noble but unsuccessful effort to turn the
French mind in a new and better direction,' 1 ,
was like a grateful oasis in a horrid waste,
where wearied memory loved to linger and
think of what " might have been." Even
Carlyle, in his ' French Revolution/ has a
sentimental line or two about this brave
adventurer's undertaking in the hapless
Louis's earlier days, which " also shall not
prosper" ; and now here, in this cutting of
Baddeley 's cake, we are reminded once more
of it all, and how long the sad incident re-
mained a dramatic inspiration for our for-
bears. One would like to come across a
copy of that play in which West's chimpanzee
figures. MONA.
' BOOK OF ALMANACS.' The notice of Fry's 'Almanacks for Students' at 11 S. xii. 312 suggests the thought that De Morgan's ' Book of Almanacs ' is not now easily accessible. It is an oblong octavo, published in 1851 jby Taylor, Walton & Maberly. ...It contains 37 almanacs, of which
