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.
