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." 



H 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 well into their SEVENTIETH 

 THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently 

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

 FIFTY-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.
