The real name of the subject of this preface is Jacques-Anatole Thibault. He was born in Paris, April 16, 1844, the son of a bookseller of the Quai Malaquais, in the shadow of the Institute. He was educated at the College Stanislas and published in 1868 an essay upon Alfred de Vigny. This was followed by two volumes of poetry: 'Les Poemes Dores' (1873), and 'Les Noces Corinthiennes' (1876). With the last mentioned book his reputation became established.

In those days there were many hermits living in the desert. On both banks of the Nile numerous huts, built by these solitary dwellers, of branches held together by clay, were scattered at a little distance from each other, so that the inhabitants could live alone, and yet help one another in case of need. Churches, each surmounted by a cross, stood here and there amongst the huts, and the monks flocked to them at each festival to celebrate the services or to partake of the Communion. There were also, here and there on the banks of the river, monasteries, where the cenobites lived in separate cells, and only met together that they might the better enjoy their solitude.

BENEATH the shadow of St. Sulpice the ancient mansion of the d'Esparvieu family rears its austere three stories between a moss-grown fore-court and a garden hemmed in, as the years have elapsed, by ever loftier and more intrusive buildings, wherein, nevertheless, two tall chestnut trees still lift their withered heads.

Anatole France es considerado como el mayor escritor francés del siglo XIX. Reconocido dentro y fuera de su país, fue premiado con el premio Nobel de Literatura en 1921. Conocido sobre todo por su labor como novelista, fue también poeta y un estilista del cuento. En "El pozo de Santa Clara", publicado por primera vez en 1895, el autor nos ofrece un conjunto de narraciones ambientadas en la Italia a medio camino entre el Medievo y el Renacimiento, inspirada por los cuentos de Bocaccio, de Vasari Vive y de Fioretti A través de la figura del franciscano y erudito Adone Doni, se suceden las narraciones en las que lo místico, lo cristiano y lo pagano se mezclan en la exquisita prosa y el humor afilado de France. Relatos dotados de frescura y sencillez en los que los hijos de los dioses son también hijos de los hombres. La obra se compone de las siguientes narraciones: I. San Sátiro. II. Messer Guido Cavalcanti. III. Lucifer. IV. Los panes negros. V. El alegre Buffalmacco. VI. La dama de Verona. VII. La humana tragedia. VIII. El misterio de la sangre. IX. La fianza. X.

Evariste Gamelin, painter, pupil of David, member of the Section du Pont-Neuf, formerly Section Henri IV, had betaken himself at an early hour in the morning to the old church of the Barnabites, which for three years, since 21st May 1790, had served as meeting-place for the General Assembly of the Section. The church stood in a narrow, gloomy square, not far from the gates of the Palais de Justice. On the façade, which consisted of two of the Classical orders superimposed and was decorated with inverted brackets and flaming urns, blackened by the weather and disfigured by the hand of man, the religious emblems had been battered to pieces, while above the doorway had been inscribed in black letters the Republican catchword of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death."

Évariste Gamelin, peintre, élève de David, membre de la section du Pont-Neuf, précédemment section Henri IV, s'était rendu de bon matin à l'ancienne église des Barnabites, qui depuis trois ans, depuis le 21 mai 1790, servait de siège à l'assemblée générale de la section. Cette église s'élevait sur une place étroite et sombre, près de la grille du Palais. Sur la façade, composée de deux ordres classiques, ornée de consoles renversées et de pots à feu, attristée par le temps, offensée par les hommes, les emblèmes religieux avaient été martelés et l'on avait inscrit en lettres noires au-dessus de la porte la devise républicaine: "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité ou la Mort." Évariste Gamelin pénétra dans la nef: les voûtes, qui avaient entendu les clercs de la congrégation de Saint-Paul chanter en rochet les offices divins, voyaient maintenant les patriotes en bonnet rouge assemblés pour élire les magistrats municipaux et délibérer sur les affaires de la section. Les saints avaient été tirés de leurs niches et remplacés par les bustes de Brutus, de Jean-Jacques et de Le Peltier. La table des Droits de l'Homme se dressait sur l'autel dépouillé.

Mael, a scion of a royal family of Cambria, was sent in his ninth year to the Abbey of Yvern so that he might there study both sacred and profane learning. At the age of fourteen he renounced his patrimony and took a vow to serve the Lord. His time was divided, according to the rule, between the singing of hymns, the study of grammar, and the meditation of eternal truths.

MY first duty should be to make known the authorities for this history. But L'Averdy, Buchon, J. Quicherat, Vallet de Viriville, Siméon Luce, Boucher de Molandon, MM. Robillard de Beaurepaire, Lanéry d'Arc, Henri Jadart, Alexandre Sorel, Germain Lefèvre-Pontalis, L. Jarry, and many other scholars have published and expounded various documents for the life of Joan of Arc. I refer my readers to their works which in themselves constitute a voluminous literature, and without entering on any new examination of these documents, I will merely indicate rapidly and generally the reasons for the use I have chosen to make of them. They are: first, the trial which resulted in her condemnation; second, the chronicles; third, the trial for her rehabilitation; fourth, letters, deeds, and other papers.

THE strangest, the most varied, the most erroneous opinions have been expressed with regard to the famous individual commonly known as Bluebeard. None, perhaps, was less tenable than that which made of this gentleman a personification of the Sun. For this is what a certain school of comparative mythology set itself to do, some forty years ago

Which treats of the appearance of the country and serves as Introduction The sea covers to-day what was once the Duchy of Clarides. No trace of the town or the castle remains. But when it is calm there can be seen, it is said, within the circumference of a mile, huge trunks of trees standing on the bottom of the sea. A spot on the banks, which now serves as a station for the customhouse officers, is still called "The Tailor's Booth," and it is quite probable that this name is in memory of a certain Master Jean who is mentioned in this story. The sea, which encroaches year by year, will soon cover this spot so curiously named.

What one first notes about The Queen Pedauque is the fact that in this ironic and subtle book is presented a story which, curiously enough, is remarkable for its entire innocence of subtlety and irony. Abridge the "plot" into a synopsis, and you will find your digest to be what is manifestly the outline of a straightforward, plumed romance by the elder Dumas.

En 1874, l'éditeur Lemerre décida de publier un petit ouvrage, afin d'initier le bibliophile aux mystères de l'édition et de lui montrer, par la même occasion, que les volumes à la marque du bêcheur nu devaient contenter les plus difficiles. Il confia l'établissement de ce texte à son lecteur: Anatole France. Le Livre du bibliophile parut alors. Il ne portait pas de nom d'auteur et l'éditeur, en en signant l'avertissement, laissait croire que c'était lui. Mais on connait le manuscrit. S'il contient des corrections d'Alphonse Lemerre, le texte n'en est pas moins entièrement de la main d'Anatole France.

e scene was an actress's dressing-room at the Odéon. Félicie Nanteuil, her hair powdered, with blue on her eyelids, rouge on her cheeks and ears, and white on her neck and shoulders, was holding out her foot to Madame Michon, the dresser, who was fitting on a pair of little black slippers with red heels. Dr. Trublet, the physician attached to the theatre, and a friend of the actress's, was resting his bald cranium on a cushion of the divan, his hands folded upon his stomach and his short legs crossed.
