THE WORKS OF
ANATOLE FRANCE
“That M. Anatole France should have an English version of his works published during his
lifetime is a remarkable testimony to his literary merits and position. The reasons are obvious.
He is a writer of the first rank, who sums up in his personality most of the elements—intellectual,
ethical and political—of the modern age. He is also a great scholar. He has felt the beauty of
the ancient Greek culture, and everywhere produces through his books the serenity of spirit and
the extraordinary sensitiveness for style which the classics are able to impart to their worship-
pers.”—The Daily Telegraph (London).
MOST RECENT TRANSLATIONS UNIFORM WITH SET
tic during the sixth century and returned
successful in having found islands. The
poets and religious writers of later ages
embroidered such charming flowers of
fancy round his exploits that the skeptics
rejected the story as no better than a mass
of fables. But it is certain that he did sail
—and returned to found the monastery
and famous school of Clonfert in Galway,
and become canonized by time and public
opinion, if not certainly by the Pope.
Therefore the medieval charts and the later
ones consulted by Columbus have the Isles
of Saint Brendan located in some part or
other of the western ocean. Therefore we
have in Ireland the Bay, the Hill and the
Head of Brandon.
THE HUDSON-FULTON MEDAL
(OBVERSE AND reverse)
BY JOHN FLANAGAN
The last piece to appear is a medallion to
celebrate the Marquis de La Fayette, an
' appropriate figure just now, when France,
England and the United States are striving
to reach a basis of goodwill and amity
through reciprocal treaties. The work is
by J. E. Rome, the Franco-American
sculptor and medal designer. He indi-
cates on the reverse the close connection
between the French and the American
revolutions.
The Circle mf Friends of the Medallion
may be considered in one sense related to
the National Sculpture Society in that it
tries to encourage the taste for sculpture in
the public and fixes the attention of sculp-
tors on a subordinate but very attractive
branch of their noble art, which has been
too much neglected on this side of the
Atlantic. Our coinage and national medals,
the medallions and placques issued by our
States as prizes or other distinctions and
those given by clubs, schools and similar
organizations, exhibit art at its lowest ebb.
Mr. Robert Frank, at the Artists’
Shop, has a good assortment of high-
priced Japanese prints, and also Japan-
ese prints on paper, smoked in order to
give it a venerable appearance. Such
piints are very attractive, reasonable in
| price, and are known as smoked prints.
! j He has also some good plastic work from
. Munich, quite new here, being replicas
of well-known art objects. Furthermore
he stocks artists’ proofs before printing
from Jugend in tasteful frames.
The Art Institute of Chicago held re-
I cently an exhibition of paintings by George
Peter Alexander Healy (1813-1894), upon
the centenary of his birth. “Little Healy,”
as he was called, was introduced in the
1 early thirties to Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis,
a queen if not the queen of Society, and
when asked what she could do for him,
the answer came, “Sit to me, madam.”
From that day his reputation was made.
Louis Philippe, Lincoln, Thiers, Gambetta,
Jules Symons, Lord Lyons and Whitelaw
Reid, all sat to him at different times.
THE GODS ARE ATHIRST. Translation by Alfred Allinson. The truest
picture and the profoundest study of the French Revolution that has yet appeared in fiction.
This book is also issued in a POPULAR EDITION. 12mo. $1.30 net. Postage 12 cents.
JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT. By Anatole France. Translation
by Agnes Farley. Of the many volumes of fiction written by Anatole France. “Jocasta” is the
first novel. In this, as in all his writings, his work is illuminated with style, scholarship and
psychology. 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.
THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN. Translation by Alfred Allinson.
Jean Servien, son of a bookbinder, born in a back-shop in the Rue Notre-Dame des Champs, began
at an early age to live a most interesting life of adventure. As a character-sketch, this is one of
Anatole France’s Masterpieces.
MY FRIEND’S BOOK. Translation by James L. May. This volume contains
the reminiscences of Pierre Nozierre, the recollections of his childhood’s days—isolated pictures
that stand out in bold relief from the vague, mysterious background that surrounds them. “The
Book of Suzanne” at the end of the volume contains further extracts from family records.
THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD. Translation by Mrs. Wilfrid
Jackson. The readers of a previous book by Anatole France, “The Merrie Tales of Jacques
Tournebroche,” will meet a familiar character in this present volume, namely, the former librarian
of Monsiegneur de Seez, with his indulgent wisdom and his generous scepticism, so mingled with
contempt and kindliness for man.
ON LIFE AND LETTERS. (Second Series.) Translation by A. W. Evans.
“The brilliant series of essays translated under the title of ‘On Life and Letters’ shows M. France
as a writer of pungent wit, passionate, intellectual curiosity, superb cultivation, and great sym-
pathy.”—Providence Journal.
$1.75, net, each. Postage 15 cents.
