“Have we not before us, at this very moment, a print—one of the admirable ‘Illustrations of Phrenology’—which entire work was purchased by a joint-stock company of boys—each drawing lots afterwards for the separate prints, and taking his choice in rotation? The writer of this, too, had the honor of drawing the first lot, and seized immediately upon ‘Philoprogenitiveness’—a marvellous print, indeed—full of ingenuity and fine, jovial humor.”—Wm. M. Thackeray.
SEVEN GENERATIONS OF EXECUTIONERS.

“A faithful translation of this curious 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 the most notable causes célèbres from the time of Louis XIV. to a period within the memory of persons still living.... The memoirs, if not particularly instructive, can scarcely fail to be extremely entertaining.”—Daily Telegraph.
“A book of great though somewhat ghastly interest.... Something much above a mere chapter of horrors.”—Graphic.
