THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 

 At all time, he is the unrelenting foe of superstition and 

 hvpocrisy. Of himself he once modestly said : "You wdl 

 findin my writings perfect sincerity (lying demands a talent 

 I do not^ possess), much indulgence, and some natural 

 affection for the beautiful and good." , . . , 



fl The mere extent of an author's popularity is perhaps a 

 ^^ ,r««- it k <iipnificant that two books by this 

 poor --g^-^^' ry^^JDlED^ND TENTH THOU- 

 authorare in their HUINUKJLL^ /^.x^^ cTr\7T?MT-TirTH 

 SAND, and numbers of them well into their SEVENTIETH 

 THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently 

 described as " Monsieur France's most and book is in its 

 FIFrY-EIGHT-THOUSAND. 



^ Inasmuch as M. FRANCE;S ONLY contnbut.on to 

 an Enelish periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK 

 vol. v.rAprU 1895, together with the first important English 

 apprec'iati'on of his' work from the pen of the Hon. Maunc 

 Sarin,, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition 

 of his^work s should be issued from the Bodley Head.
