The terms, to be "ramasshed," is not, as I believe, wholly disused in France. It was brought to the metropolis with the strange amusement known as the _Montagne Russe_. In the valuable _Complement du Dictionnaire de l'Academie_, compiled under the direction of Louis Barre, we find the following phrase: "Se faire ramasser, se dit aujourd'hui, dans une acception particuliere, pour, Se faire lancer dans un char, du haut des elevations artificielles qui se trouvent dans les jardins publics." Such a disport had been known previously to the expedition to Moscow, and the favourite divertisement _a la Russe_, so much in vogue amongst the Parisians for a few subsequent years. Roquefort informs us that-- "_Ramasse_ etoit le nom d'un jeu que nous avions apporte des Alpes, ou il est encore en usage pendant l'hiver, et principalement en temps de neige."
