The following is Mons. Duchesne's enumeration of the seventeen cards which he supposes to have been executed by Gringonneur: the names in capitals are those which occur in a series of so-called Italian Tarocchi cards, with which he considers them to correspond. 1. _Le Fou_--the Buffoon. This figure is found in the Tarots of the present day, and is perhaps the same character as that which in the series of old Italian engraving--called Tarocchi cards--is inscribed MISERO I. 2. _L'Ecuyer_--the Squire. CHEVALIER VI. 3. _L'Empereur_--the Emperor. IMPERATOR VIIII. 4. _Le Pape_--the Pope. PAPA X. 5. _Les Amoureux_--the Lovers. Young men and women courting, while two winged Cupids are discharging arrows at them. Mons. Duchesne gravely queries whether this subject does not represent Apollo and Diana killing the children of Niobe, and whether it ought not to be considered as corresponding with APOLLO XX. It has, however, as little relation to the story of Niobe as it has to Apollo, as figured in the engraving referred to. 6. _La Fortune_--Fortune. This figure, standing on a circle which represents the world, holds a globe in one hand, and in the other a sceptre. Mons. Duchesne considers that it corresponds with that named ASTROLOGIA, in the series of Italian engravings, and there erroneously numbered XXXVIIII, instead of XXVIIII.--Bartsch, it seems had not observed this error. 7. _La Tempérance_--Temperance. TEMPERANCIA XXXIIII. 8. _La Force_--Fortitude. FORTEZZA XXXVI. 9. _La Justice_--Justice. JUSTICIA XXXVII. 10. _La Lune_--the Moon. LUNA XXXXI. 11. _Le Soleil_--the Sun. SOL XXXXIIII. 12. _Le Char_--the Chariot. The subject here is a figure in armour, standing on a kind of triumphal car, and having in his right hand a battle-axe. Mons. Duchesne says that this subject certainly corresponds with MARTE XXXXV. 13. _L'Ermite_--the Hermit. This figure is supposed to correspond with that named SATURNO XXXXVII. The four following subjects have no corresponding figures in the series of old Italian engravings, supposed by Mons. Duchesne and others to be Tarocchi cards: they are, however, to be found among the "Atous" of the modern game of Tarots. 14. _Le Pendu_--A man hanging from one leg, head downwards. Court de Gebelin, speaking of this figure as it is seen in a modern pack of Tarots, conjectures, with his usual absurdity, that the card-maker had erroneously represented it upside down. On turning it the contrary way, he sees in it an emblem of Prudence,--to wit, a man standing upon one foot, and sagely deliberating where he has to place the other.--The figure of Le Pendu, even when thus viewed, is much more like a capering opera-dancer, than a prudent philosopher cautiously picking his steps; and bears not the slightest resemblance to the figure of Prudence, in the series of old engravings, called Tarocchi cards. 15. _La Mort_--Death. 16. _La Maison-Dieu_--The Hospital. A tower struck by lightning.
