French laws. The _first_ seems, indeed, to have disappeared altogether.
M. Crapelet, Etudes sur la typographie, 34-37, reproduces the _second_,
dated St. Germain-en-Laye, February 23, 1534/5, from a volume of
parliamentary papers labelled "Conseil." Happily, the preamble recites

printing _after_, instead of _before_, the great expiatory procession.

Martin Theodoric of Beauvais an opportunity, which he cannot neglect, to
compare him with a pagan malefactor and contrast him with a biblical
personage. "Hunc gladium ultorem persenserunt quam plurimi degeneres et
