the “Mernoires de Forbin,
” 2 vols. 12mo, and the “Hist,
de l'Enfance,
” 2 vols. compiled from memoirs with which

other works are, “A History of Pope Clement XI.
” in 2
small volumes, 4to, which the king of Sardinia suppressed;
as his father did not love the Jesuits, and could not therefore be a great man in the opinion of Reboulet. A “History of Louis XIV.
” 3 vols. 4to, or 9 vols. 12mo, his best
work, is tolerably accurate as to facts, but the narration is
dry.
