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, and 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
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
THAÏS
AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PÉDAUQUE
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, 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 ascetism, 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 pen of the
Hon. Maurice Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English
edition of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.

Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 12_s._ 6_d._ net.
[Symbol: asterism] _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

8vo. 12_s._ 6_d._ net.

which has interested us so much."

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.'"

edition.
_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,

_The Times._--"We thank Mr. Stirling for one of the most
interesting memoirs of recent years."

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

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

with an Introduction, by A. FRANCIS STEUART. With numerous
portraits. Two Vols. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
[Symbol: asterism] _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.
[Symbol: asterism] _M.G. Lenotre is perhaps the most
widely read of a group of modern French writers who have
succeeded in treating history from a point of view at
once scientific, dramatic and popular. He has made the
Revolution his particular field of research, and deals not
only with the most prominent figures of that period, but
with many minor characters whose life-stories are quite as
thrilling as anything in fiction. The localities in which
these dramas were enacted are vividly brought before us in
his works, for no one has reconstructed 18th century Paris
with more picturesque and accurate detail. "The Daughter of
Louis XVI." is quite equal in interest and literary merit
to any of the volumes which have preceded it, not excepting
the famous Drama of Varennes. As usual, M. Lenotre draws
his material largely from contemporary documents, and among
the most remarkable memoirs reproduced in this book are
"The Story of my Visit to the Temple" by Harmand de la
Meuse, and the artless, but profoundly touching narrative
of the unhappy orphaned Princess: "A manuscript written by
Marie Thérèse Charlotte of France upon the captivity of the
Princes and Princesses, her relatives, imprisoned in the
Temple." The illustrations are a feature of the volume and
include the so-called "telescope" portrait of the Princess,
sketched from life by an anonymous artist, stationed at a
window opposite her prison in the tower of the Temple._
THE TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE: an Autobiography by ALICE M.
DIEHL, Novelist, Writer, and Musician. Demy 8vo. 10_s._ 6_d._
net.
_Daily Chronicle._--"This work ... has the introspective
touch, intimate and revealing, which autobiography, if
it is to be worth anything, should have. Mrs. Diehl's
pages have reality, a living throb, and so are indeed
autobiography."
HUBERT AND JOHN VAN EYCK: Their Life and Work. By W.H.
JAMES WEALE. With 41 Photogravure and 95 Black and White
Reproductions. Royal 4to. £5 5_s._ net.
SIR MARTIN CONWAY'S NOTE.
_Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. W.H. James
Weale, then resident at Bruges, began that long series of
patient investigations into the history of Netherlandish
art which was destined to earn so rich a harvest. When
he began work Memlinc was still called Hemling, and was
fabled to have arrived at Bruges as a wounded soldier.
The van Eycks were little more than legendary heroes.
Roger Van der Weyden was little more than a name. Most of
the other great Netherlandish artists were either wholly
forgotten or named only in connection with paintings with
which they had nothing to do. Mr. Weale discovered Gerard
David, and disentangled his principal works from Memlinc's,
with which they were then confused. During a series of
years he published in the "Beffroi," a magazine issued by
himself, the many important records from ancient archives
which threw a flood of light upon the whole origin and
development of the early Netherlandish school. By universal
admission he is hailed all over Europe as the father of
this study. It is due to him in great measure that the
masterpieces of that school, which by neglect were in
danger of perishing fifty years ago, are now recognised as
among the most priceless treasures of the Museums of Europe
and the United States. The publication by him, therefore,
in the ripeness of his years and experience, of the result
of his studies on the van Eycks is a matter of considerable
importance to students of art history. Lately, since the
revived interest in the works of the Early French painters
has attracted the attention of untrained speculators to
the superior schools of the Low Countries, a number of
wild theories have been started which cannot stand upright
in the face of recorded facts. A book is now needed which
will set down all those facts in full and accurate form.
Fullness and accuracy are the characteristics of all Mr.
Weale's work._
VINCENZO FOPPA OF BRESCIA, FOUNDER OF THE LOMBARD SCHOOL, HIS LIFE
AND WORK. By CONSTANCE JOCELYN FFOULKES and MONSIGNOR RODOLFO
MAJOCCHI, D.D., Rector of the Collegio Borromeo, Pavia. Based on
research in the Archives of Milan, Pavia, Brescia, and Genoa, and on
the study of all his known works. With over 100 Illustrations, many
in Photogravure, and 100 Documents. Royal 4to. £3. 11_s._ 6_d._ net.
[Symbol: asterism] _No complete Life of Vincenzo Foppa, one
of the greatest of the North Italian Masters, has ever been
written: an omission which seems almost inexplicable in
these days of over-production in the matter of biographies
of painters, and of subjects relating to the art of Italy.
In Milanese territory--the sphere of Foppa's activity
during many years--he was regarded by his contemporaries
as unrivalled in his art, and his right to be considered
the head and founder of the Lombard school is undoubted.
His influence was powerful and far-reaching, extending
eastwards beyond the limits of Brescian territory, and
south and westwards to Liguria and Piedmont. In the
Milanese district it was practically dominant for over
a quarter of a century, until the coming of Leonardo da
Vinci thrust Foppa and his followers into the shade, and
induced him to abandon Pavia, which had been his home for
more than thirty years, and to return to Brescia. The
object of the authors of this book has been to present a
true picture of the master's life based upon the testimony
of records in Italian archives; all facts hitherto known
relating to him have been brought together; all statements
have been verified; and a great deal of new and unpublished
material has been added. The authors have unearthed a large
amount of new material relating to Foppa, one of the most
interesting facts brought to light being that he lived
for twenty-three years longer than was formerly supposed.
The illustrations will include several pictures by Foppa
hitherto unknown in the history of art, and others which
have never before been published, as well as reproductions
of every existing work by the master at present known._
CÉSAR FRANCK: A Study. Translated from the French of Vincent d'Indy.
And with an Introduction by ROSA NEWMARCH. Demy 8vo. 7_s._
6_d._ net.
[Symbol: asterism] _There is no purer influence in modern
music than that of César Franck, for many years ignored in
every capacity save that of organist of Sainte-Clotilde,
in Paris, but now recognised as the legitimate successor
of Bach and Beethoven. His inspiration "rooted in love
and faith" has contributed in a remarkable degree to the
regeneration of the musical art in France and elsewhere.
The now famous "Schola Cantorum," founded in Paris in 1896,
by A. Guilmant, Charles Bordes and Vincent d'Indy, is the
direct outcome of his influence. Among the artists who
were in some sort his disciples were Paul Dukas, Chabrier,
Gabriel Fauré and the great violinist Ysäye. His pupils
include such gifted composers as Benoît, Augusta Holmès,
Chausson, Ropartz, and d'Indy. This book, written with
the devotion of a disciple and the authority of a master,
leaves us with a vivid and touching impression of the
saint-like composer of "The Beatitudes."_
JUNIPER HALL: Rendezvous of certain illustrious Personages during the
French Revolution, including Alexander D'Arblay and Fanny Burney.
Compiled by CONSTANCE HILL. With numerous Illustrations by
ELLEN G. HILL, and reproductions from various Contemporary
Portraits. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.
_Daily Telegraph._--"... one of the most charming volumes
published within recent years.... Miss Hill has drawn a
really idyllic and graphic picture of the daily life and
gossip of the stately but unfortunate dames and noblemen
who found in Juniper Hall a thoroughly English home."
_The Times._--"This book makes another on the long and
seductive list of books that take up history just where
history proper leaves off.... We have given but a faint
idea of the freshness, the innocent gaiety of its pages;
we can give none at all of the beauty and interest of the
pictures that adorn it."

_Truth._--"It is a brilliant study of the brilliant
Frenchwoman who in the early years of the eighteenth
century played such a remarkable part in saving the Bourbon
dynasty in Spain. Miss Hill's narrative is interesting from
the first page to the last, and the value of the book is
enhanced by the reproductions of contemporary portraits
with which it is illustrated."

these letters do really add value; we can learn to respect
and to like him the more for the genuine goodness of his
personality."
_Morning Leader._--"These volumes open the very heart of
Carlyle."
_Literary World._--"It is then Carlyle, the nobly filial
son, we see in these letters; Carlyle, the generous and
affectionate brother, the loyal and warm-hearted friend,
... and above all, Carlyle as the tender and faithful lover
of his wife."
_Daily Telegraph._--"The letters are characteristic enough
of the Carlyle we know: very picturesque and entertaining,
full of extravagant emphasis, written, as a rule, at fever
beat, eloquently rabid and emotional."

By SIR JAMES CRICHTON BROWNE and ALEXANDER CARLYLE. Demy 8vo. 3_s._

_Glasgow Herald._--"... The book practically accomplishes
its task of reinstating Carlyle; as an attack on Froude it
is overwhelming."
_Public Opinion._--"The main object of the book is to prove
that Froude believed a myth and betrayed his trust. That
aim has been achieved."

unreproduced Originals. In Two Volumes. Demy 8vo. 25_s._ net.
_Westminster Gazette._--"Few letters in the language have
in such perfection the qualities which good letters should
possess. Frank, gay, brilliant, indiscreet, immensely
clever, whimsical, and audacious, they reveal a character
which, with whatever alloy of human infirmity, must endear
itself to any reader of understanding."
_World._--"Throws a deal of new light on the domestic
relations of the Sage of Chelsea. They also contain the
full text of Mrs. Carlyle's fascinating journal, and her
own 'humorous and quaintly candid' narrative of her first
love-affair."
_Daily News._--"Every page ... scintillates with keen
thoughts, biting criticisms, flashing phrases, and touches
of bright comedy."

true insight into the aims, character, and life of the
novelist."
_Athenæum._--"... Exhaustive and interesting."
_M.A.P._--"... will stand as the classic biography of Zola."
_Star._--"This 'Life' of Zola is a very fascinating book."
_Academy._--"It was inevitable that the authoritative life
of Emile Zola should be from the pen of E.A. Vizetelly. No
one probably has the same qualifications, and this bulky
volume of nearly six hundred pages is a worthy tribute to
the genius of the master."
Mr. T.P. O'CONNOR in _T.P.'s Weekly._--"It is a
story of fascinating interest, and is told admirably by Mr.
Vizetelly. I can promise any one who takes it up that he

_Morning Post._--"The work possesses all the interest of
a thrilling historical romance, the scenes of which are
described by the characters themselves, in the language of
the time, and forms a valuable contribution to existing
Stuart literature."
_Western Morning News._--"Mr. Fea has shown great industry
in investigating every possible fact that has any
bearing on his subject, and has succeeded in thoroughly
establishing the incidents of that romantic escape."
_Standard._--"... throws fresh light on one of the most
romantic episodes in the annals of English History."

100 black and white Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
_Morning Post._--"The story of Monmouth's career is one of
the most remarkable in the annals of English History, and
Mr. Fea's volume is singularly fascinating. Not only does
it supplement and correct the prejudiced though picturesque
pages of Macaulay, but it seems to make the reader
personally acquainted with a large number of the characters
who prominently figured in the conspiracies and in the
intrigues, amorous and political, when society and politics
were seething in strange cauldrons."

one finds oneself in the presence of a real original, a man

know too much.... No one will read this fascinating and
charmingly produced book without thanks to Mr. Byles and a

Introduction by W. GRAHAM ROBERTSON. Numerous Reproductions from
Blake's most characteristic and remarkable designs. Demy 8vo. 10_s._
6_d._ net. New Edition.
_Birmingham Post._--"Nothing seems at all likely ever to
supplant the Gilchrist biography. Mr. Swinburne praised
it magnificently in his own eloquent essay on Blake, and
there should be no need now to point out its entire sanity,
understanding keenness of critical insight, and masterly
literary style. Dealing with one of the most difficult of
subjects, it ranks among the finest things of its kind that
we possess."

Revised.
_Punch._--"All Meredithians must possess 'George Meredith;
Some Characteristics,' by Richard Le Gallienne. This book
is a complete and excellent guide to the novelist and the
novels, a sort of Meredithian Bradshaw, with pictures of
the traffic superintendent and the head office at Boxhill.
Even Philistines may be won over by the blandishments of
Mr. Le Gallienne."

Character, and Public Services of the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield. By

_Daily Telegraph._--"Mr. Craig has set out to present
him (Lord Chesterfield) as one of the striking figures
of a formative period in our modern history ... and has
succeeded in giving us a very attractive biography of a
remarkable man."
_Times._--"It is the chief point of Mr. Craig's book to
show the sterling qualities which Chesterfield was at
too much pains in concealing, to reject the perishable
trivialities of his character, and to exhibit him as
a philosophic statesman, not inferior to any of his
contemporaries, except Walpole at one end of his life, and
Chatham at the other."

from contemporary Portraits and Prints. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
_The Daily Telegraph._--"It could scarcely be done
more thoroughly or, on the whole, in better taste than
is here displayed by Professor Clerici. Mr. Frederic
Chapman himself contributes an uncommonly interesting and
well-informed introduction."
_Westminster Gazette._--"The volume, scholarly and
well-informed ... forms one long and absorbingly
interesting chapter of the _chronique scandaleuse_ of Court
life ... reads like a romance, except that no romancer
would care or dare to pack his pages so closely with
startling effects and fantastic scenes."

inches). 16_s._ net.
_Outlook._--"This deeply interesting record of experience.
The volume is worthily produced and contains a striking
portrait of Howe."
_Daily News._--"Dr. Howe's book is full of shrewd touches;
it seems to be very much a part of the lively, handsome
man of the portrait. His writing is striking and vivid;
it is the writing of a shrewd, keen observer, intensely
interested in the event before him."

Unknown Fourteenth-Century Writer by VALENTINA HAWTREY.
With an Introductory Note by VERNON LEE, and 14 Full-page
Reproductions from the Old Masters. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.
_Daily News._--"Miss Valentina Hawtrey has given a most
excellent English version of this pleasant work."
_Academy._--"The fourteenth-century fancy plays
delightfully around the meagre details of the Gospel
narrative, and presents the heroine in quite an
unconventional light.... In its directness and artistic
simplicity and its wealth of homely detail the story reads
like the work of some Boccaccio of the cloister; and
fourteen illustrations taken from Italian painters happily
illustrate the charming text."

DOUGLAS SLADEN in the _Queen_.--"This is
indisputably a most valuable contribution to the literature
of the eighteenth century. It is a veritable storehouse of
society gossip, the art criticism, and the _mots_ of famous
people."
_Academy and Literature._--"The effect consists in no
particular passages, but in the total impression, the sense
of atmosphere, and the general feeling that we are being
introduced into the very society in which the writer moved."
_Daily News._--"To Miss Alice Gaussen is due the credit
of sorting out the vast collection of correspondence
which is here presented to the public.... Her industry
is indefatigable, and her task has been carried out with
completeness. The notes are full of interesting items;
the introduction is exhaustive; and the collection of
illustrations enhances the value of the book."

_Daily Chronicle._--"Few, indeed, could be more fit to sing
the dirge of that 'Virgil of Prose' than the poet whose
_curiosa felicitas_ is so close akin to Stevenson's own
charm."
_Globe._--"The opening Elegy on R.L. Stevenson includes
some tender and touching passages, and has throughout the
merits of sincerity and clearness."

_Scotsman._--"It shows a keen insight into the essential
qualities of literature, and analyses Mr. Kipling's
product with the skill of a craftsman ... the positive and
outstanding merits of Mr. Kipling's contribution to the
literature of his time are marshalled by his critic with
quite uncommon skill."

GILL, and a Reprint of Mr. J.A. SYMONDS' Critical Essay
on "Echoes from Theocritus." Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
net.
_The Times._--"... the leading features of the sonnets are
the writer's intense sympathy with human life in general
and with young life in particular; his humour, his music,
and, in a word, the quality which 'leaves a melody afloat
upon the brain, a savour on the mental palate.'"
_Bookman._--"The Memoir, by Mr. W.A. Gill, is a
sympathetic sketch of an earnest and lovable character;
and the critical estimate, by J. Addington Symonds, is a
charmingly-written and suggestive essay."

[Symbol: asterism] _The book, which is largely
autobiographical, describes the effect of diffidence upon
an individual life, and contains, with a consideration of
the nature of shyness, a plea for a kindlier judgment of
the inveterate case._
_Daily Mail._--"Mr. Leith has written a very beautiful
book, and perhaps the publisher's claim that this will be a
new classic is not too bold."
BOOKS AND PERSONALITIES: Essays. By H.W. NEVINSON. Crown
8vo. 5_s._ net.
_Daily Chronicle._--"It is a remarkable thing and probably
unique, that a writer of such personality as the author of
'Between the Acts' should not only feel, but boldly put on
paper, his homage and complete subjection to the genius of
one after another of these men. He is entirely free from
that one common virtue of critics, which is superiority to
the author criticised."

CHAMPIONS OF THE FLEET. Captains and Men-of-War in the Days that
Helped to make the Empire. By EDWARD FRASER. With 16 Full-page
Illustrations. Crown 8vo.
[Symbol: asterism] _Mr. Fraser takes in the whole range
of our Navy's story. First there is the story of the
"Dreadnought," told for the first time: how the name was
originally selected by Elizabeth, why she chose it, the
launch, how under Drake she fought against the Armada,
how her captain was knighted on the quarter-deck in the
presence of the enemy. From this point the name is traced
down to the present leviathan which bears it. This is
but one of the "champions" dealt with in Mr. Fraser's
volume, which is illustrated by some very interesting
reproductions._
