THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 



unexpected aspect." Still, it is believed that the day has 

 come for giving English versions of all his imaginative 

 works, and of his monumental study JOAN OF ARC, 

 which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world 

 of letters to-day. 



1T MR. JOHN LANE has pleasure in announcing that 

 he will commence publication of the works of M. 

 ANATOLE FRANCE in English, under the general 

 editorship of MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, with the 

 following volumes : 



THE RED LILY 



MOTHER OF PEARL 



THE GARDEN OF EPICURUS 



THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD 



THE WELL OF ST. CLARE 



THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD 



JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT 



BALTHASAR 



THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN 



THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL 



MY FRIEND'S BOOK 



THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN 



THAIS 



AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN P^DAUQUE 



JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.) 



11 All the books will be published at 6/- each with the 

 exception of JOAN OF ARC, which will be 25/- net 

 the two volumes, with eight Illustrations. 



11 The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. 

 The size is Demy 8vo (9 X 5f in.), that of this Prospectus, and 

 they will be printed from Caslon type upon a paper light in 

 weight and strong in texture, with a cover design in crimson 

 and gold, a gilt top, end-papers from designs by Aubrey 

 Beardsley and initials by Henry Ospovat. In short, these are 

 volumes for the bibliophile as well as the lover of fiction, 

 and form perhaps the cheapest library edition of copyright 

 novels ever published, for the price is only that of an 

 ordinary novel. 



11 The translation of these books has been entrusted to 

 such competent French scholars as MR. ALFRED ALLINSON, 



HON. MAURICE BARING, MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, MR.
