THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 
At all times he is the unrelenting foe of superstition and 
hypocrisy. Of himself he once modestly said: “ You will 
find in my writings perfect sincerity (lying demands a talent 
I do not possess), much indulgence, and some natural 
affection for the beautiful and good.” 
| ‘The mere extent of an author’s popularity is perhaps a 
poor argument, yet it is significant that two books by this 
author are in their HUNDRED AND TENTH THOU- 
SAND, and numbers of them wellintotheirSEVENTIETH 
THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently 
described as “ Monsieur France’s most arid book”? is in its 
FIF TY-EIGHT-THOUSAND. 
| Inasmuch as M. FRANCE’S ONLY contribution to 
an English periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK, 
vol. v., April 1895, together with the first important English 
appreciation of his work from the pen of the Hon. Maurice 
Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition 
of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.
