THE WORKS OF
ANATOLE FRANCE
It has long been a reproach to England that only one volume by ANATOLE FRANCE has been adequately rendered into English; yet outside this country he shares with TOLSTOI the distinction of being the greatest and most daring student of humanity now living.
¶ There have been many difficulties to encounter in completing arrangements for a uniform edition, though perhaps the chief barrier to publication here has been the fact that his writings are not for babes--but for men and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his Eastern romances are written with biblical candour. "I have sought truth strenuously," he tells us, "I have met her boldly. I have never turned from her even when she wore an unexpected aspect." Still, it is believed that the day has come for giving English versions of all his imaginative works, as well as of his monumental study JOAN OF ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world of letters to-day.
¶ 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
JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT
BALTHASAR
THE WELL OF ST. CLARE
THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL
THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN
AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PÉDAUQUE
THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD
MY FRIEND'S BOOK
THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN
THAÏS
JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.)
¶ 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.
¶ The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. The size is Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 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.
¶ The translation of these books has been entrusted to such competent French scholars as MR. ALFRED ALLINSON, HON. MAURICE BARING, MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, MR. ROBERT B. DOUGLAS, MR. A. W. EVANS, MRS. FARLEY, MR. LAFCADIO HEARN, MRS. JOHN LANE, MRS. NEWMARCH, MR. C. E. ROCHE, MISS WINIFRED STEPHENS, and MISS M. P. WILLCOCKS.
¶ As Anatole Thibault, _dit_ Anatole France, is to most English readers merely a name, it will be well to state that he was born in 1844 in the picturesque and inspiring surroundings of an old bookshop on the Quai Voltaire, Paris, kept by his father, Monsieur Thibault, an authority on eighteenth-century history, from whom the boy caught the passion for the principles of the Revolution, while from his mother he was learning to love the ascetic ideals chronicled in the Lives of the Saints. He was schooled with the lovers of old books, missals and manuscripts; he matriculated on the Quais with the old Jewish dealers of curios and _objets d'art_; he graduated in the great university of life and experience. It will be recognised that all his work is permeated by his youthful impressions; he is, in fact, a virtuoso at large.
¶ He has written about thirty volumes of fiction. His first novel was JOCASTA & THE FAMISHED CAT (1879). THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD appeared in 1881, and had the distinction of being crowned by the French Academy, into which he was received in 1896.
¶ His work is illuminated with style, scholarship, and psychology; but its outstanding features are the lambent wit, the gay mockery, the genial irony with which he touches every subject he treats. But the wit is never malicious, the mockery never derisive, the irony never barbed. To quote from his own GARDEN OF EPICURUS: "Irony and Pity are both of good counsel; the first with her smiles makes life agreeable, the other sanctifies it to us with her tears. The Irony I invoke is no cruel deity. She mocks neither love nor beauty. She is gentle and kindly disposed. Her mirth disarms anger and it is she teaches us to laugh at rogues and fools whom but for her we might be so weak as to hate."
¶ Often he shows how divine humanity triumphs over mere asceticism, and with entire reverence; indeed, he might be described as an ascetic overflowing with humanity, just as he has been termed a "pagan, but a pagan constantly haunted by the pre-occupation of Christ." He is in turn--like his own Choulette in THE RED LILY--saintly and Rabelaisian, yet without incongruity. 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 THOUSAND, 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-EIGHTH 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 pan of the Hon. Maurice Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.

| A FEW PRESS OPINIONS. |
| |
| _Daily News._--"A fascinating series ... the whole book |
| is rich in human interest. It is by these personal touches, |
| drawn from tradition and memoirs, that the dead men, |
| surrounded by the curious panoply of their time, are made to |

| |
| _Westminster Gazette._--"Fascinating reading ... a book |

| documents which are out of the common." |
| |
| _Globe._--"For a Christmas present to a West Countryman |
| Mr. Baring-Gould's book is unsurpassed.... The volume is |
| full of good stories." |
| |
| M. P. WILLCOCKS in _Daily Chronicle_.--"The |

| of intelligent ancestor worship.... The illustrations are |
| curiously fascinating, and there are fifty-eight of them |
| in the book, which has also an excellent index." |
| |
| _Scotsman._--"Full of out of the way learning, and |
| always brightly written ... an uncommonly interesting and |

| _Birmingham Post._--"Mr. S. Baring-Gould shows himself |
| to be very much alive in 'Devonshire Characters,' and we |
| cannot recall a case in which his astonishing literary s |
| energies have been put to more interesting use ... a |
| handsome as well as interesting addition to every |
| library...." |
| |
| _Western Daily Mercury._--"... We can most strenuously |
| advise all Devonshire men and women who have either a love |
| for their county, or a love for a good book, or both, to buy |
| 'Devonshire Characters.' They will never regret it." |
| |
| _Guardian._--"... The eccentric lives and the evil |
| courses of the odd and the profligate have ever afforded |
| more stirring reading than the improving careers of the |
| good, and where we might idly turn the pages of Prince, we |
| must needs follow with keen interest the roads traversed by |
| Mr. Baring-Gould's villains and eccentrics, often to the |
| gallows, or the county gaol, or into the weird old legends |
| of the West...." |
| |
| _Daily Telegraph._--"... His latest work will probably |
| enjoy a longer popularity than anything else that he has |
| done. It is a work that for all West Country folk will have |
| a lasting fascination, dealing as it does with a large |
| number of worthies and unworthies, celebrated people and |
| notorious people, who have been associated with the county." |

⁂ _It was Schiller who said: "Twine no wreath for the actor, since his work is oral and ephemeral." "Stars of the Stage" may in some degree remove this reproach. There are hundreds of thousands of playgoers, and both editor and publisher think it reasonable to assume that a considerable number of these would like to know something about actors, actresses, and dramatists, whose work they nightly applaud. Each volume will be carefully illustrated, and as far as text, printing, and paper are concerned will be a notable book. Great care has been taken in selecting the biographers, who in most cases have already accumulated much appropriate material._

of the romantic material at his command for the story of the fall
of the greatest figure in history."

⁂ _Ralph Heathcote, the son of an English father and an Alsatian
mother, was for some time in the English diplomatic service as
first secretary to Mr. Brook Taylor, minister at the Court of
Hesse, and on one occasion found himself very near to making
history. Napoleon became persuaded that Taylor was implicated in a
plot to procure his assassination, and insisted on his dismissal
from the Hessian Court. As Taylor refused to be dismissed, the
incident at one time seemed likely to result to the Elector in the
loss of his throne. Heathcote came into contact with a number of
notable people, including the Miss Berrys, with whom he assures
his mother he is not in love. On the whole, there is much
interesting material for lovers of old letters and journals._
MEMOIRS OF THE COUNT DE CARTRIE. A record of the extraordinary events in the life of a French Royalist during the war in La Vendée, and of his flight to Southampton, where he followed the humble occupation of gardener. With an introduction by FRÉDÉRIC MASSON, Appendices and Notes by PIERRE AMÉDÉE PICHOT, and other hands, and numerous Illustrations, including a Photogravure Portrait of the Author. Demy 8vo. 12_s._ 6_d._ net.
_Daily News._--"We have seldom met with a human document which has
interested us so much."
_Athenæum._--"As a record of personal suffering and indomitable
perseverance against opposing circumstances the narrative of De
Cartrie's escape to the Eastern frontier, in the disguise of a
master-gunner, could not easily be surpassed."
WOMEN OF THE SECOND EMPIRE. Chronicles of the Court of Napoleon III. By FRÉDÉRIC LOLIÉE. With an introduction by RICHARD WHITEING and 53 full-page Illustrations, 3 in Photogravure. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
_Standard._--"M. Frédéric Loliée has written a remarkable book,
vivid and pitiless in its description of the intrigue and
dare-devil spirit which flourished unchecked at the French
Court.... Mr. Richard Whiteing's introduction is written with
restraint and dignity."
_Daily Telegraph._--"It is a really fascinating story, or series
of stories, set forth in this volume.... Here are anecdotes
innumerable of the brilliant women of the Second Empire, so that
in reading the book we are not only dazzled by the beauty and
gorgeousness of everything, but we are entertained by the record
of things said and done, and through all we are conscious of the
coming 'gloom and doom' so soon to overtake the Court. Few novels
possess the fascination of this spirited work, and many readers
will hope that the author will carry out his proposal of giving us
a further series of memories of the 'Women of the Second Empire.'"
LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE GENESIS OF THE SECOND EMPIRE. By F. H. CHEETHAM. With Numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 16_s._ net.

_Morning Post._--"... May be welcomed as an important addition to
Austeniana ...; it is besides valuable for its glimpses of life in
the Navy, its illustrations of the feelings and sentiments of
naval officers during the period that preceded and that which
followed the great battle of just one century ago, the battle
which won so much but which cost us--Nelson."

_The Times._--"A most illuminating commentary on Tchaikovsky's
music."
_World._--"One of the most fascinating self-revelations by an
artist which has been given to the world. The translation is
excellent, and worth reading for its own sake."
_Contemporary Review._--"The book's appeal is, of course,
primarily to the music-lover; but there is so much of human and
literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of a singularly
interesting personality, that many who have never come under the
spell of the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what
is virtually the spiritual autobiography of its composer. High
praise is due to the translator and editor for the literary skill
with which she has prepared the English version of this
fascinating work.... There have been few collections of letters
published within recent years that give so vivid a portrait of the
writer as that presented to us in these pages."
COKE OF NORFOLK AND HIS FRIENDS: The Life of Thomas William Coke, First Earl of Leicester of the second creation, containing an account of his Ancestry, Surroundings, Public Services, and Private Friendships, and including many Unpublished Letters from Noted Men of his day, English and American. By A. M. W. STIRLING. With 20 Photogravure and upwards of 40 other Illustrations reproduced from Contemporary Portraits, Prints, etc. Demy 8vo. 2 vols. 32_s._ net.
_The Times._--"We thank Mr. Stirling for one of the most
interesting memoirs of recent years."
_Daily Telegraph._--"A very remarkable literary performance. Mrs.
Stirling has achieved a resurrection. She has fashioned a picture
of a dead and forgotten past and brought before our eyes with the
vividness of breathing existence the life of our English ancestors
of the eighteenth century."
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"A work of no common interest; in fact, a
work which may almost be called unique."
_Evening Standard._--"One of the most interesting biographies we
have read for years."

Price 24_s._ net.

... not only full of personal interest, but tells us much that we
never knew before on some not unimportant details."
DEVONSHIRE CHARACTERS AND STRANGE EVENTS. By S. BARING-GOULD, M.A., Author of "Yorkshire Oddities," etc. With 58 Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
_Daily News._--"A fascinating series ... the whole book is rich in
human interest. It is by personal touches, drawn from traditions and
memories, that the dead men surrounded by the curious panoply of
their time, are made to live again in Mr. Baring-Gould's pages."
CORNISH CHARACTERS AND STRANGE EVENTS. By S. BARING-GOULD. Demy 8vo. 16_s._ net.
THE HEART OF GAMBETTA. Translated from the French of FRANCIS LAUR by VIOLETTE MONTAGU. With an Introduction by JOHN MACDONALD, Portraits and other Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._ net.

the most persuasive oratory of modern times, acknowledging his
idol, his inspiration, his Egeria."

⁂ _This Edition has been printed direct from the original
manuscript in the possession of the Fanshawe Family, and Mr. H. C.
Fanshawe contributes numerous notes which form a running
commentary on the text. Many famous pictures are reproduced,
including paintings by Velazquez and Van Dyck._
THE DIARY OF A LADY-IN-WAITING. By LADY CHARLOTTE BURY. Being the Diary Illustrative of the Times of George the Fourth. Interspersed with original Letters from the late Queen Caroline and from various other distinguished persons. New edition. Edited, with an Introduction, by A. FRANCIS STEUART. With numerous portraits. Two Vols. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
⁂ _This book, which appeared anonymously in 1838, created an
enormous sensation, and was fiercely criticised by Thackeray and
in the Reviews of the time. There is no doubt that it was founded
on the diary of Lady Charlotte Bury, daughter of the 5th Duke of
Argyll, and Lady-in-Waiting to the unfortunate Caroline of
Brunswick, when Princess of Wales. It deals, therefore, with the
curious Court of the latter and with the scandals that occurred
there, as well as with the strange vagaries of the Princess
abroad. In this edition names left blank in the original have been
(where possible) filled up, and many notes are given by the Editor
to render it useful to the ever-increasing number of readers
interested in the later Georgian Period._
THE DAUGHTER OF LOUIS XVI.: Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France, Duchesse D'Angoulême. By G. LENOTRE. With 13 Full-page Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 10_s._ 6_d._ net.
