ANATOLE FRANCE

HIMSELF

By His Secretary JEAN JACQUES BROUSSON Translation and Foreword by John Pollock Here is Anatole France himself at the Villa Said, shouting at Josephine, chaffering with curio-sellers, correcting proof with his indispensable paste and scissors. He ranges about in history, talks of Joan of Arc, of Napoleon, gives his views on Berlin and music. He receives a visit from a Bishop, banters a lady anxious about his soul, quotes Racine to his newspaper woman-is, in truth, Anatole France, the thoroughgoing pagan. Frontispiece. Large Octavo. $5.00 J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY

Sir WILLIAM

OSLER

By HARVEY CUSHING

Two Volumes, Profusely Illustrated
Price in a box $12.50 net

THE publication of the Life of Osler by his friend and disciple, Harvey Cushing, is an event. Osler's profound influence pervaded the whole of the Englishspeaking world. His name was a talisman wherever medicine was taught, studied, or practised. The variety of his interests, and his enormous powers of work, made his life a kaleidoscope of public activity. It is impossible to read fifty pages of this book without realizing that Osler was indeed a very great man. It is not technical and the layman will perhaps be even more struck than the professional by the picture which the "Life" gives of the profession as a whole. The secret of a wonderful life is unfolded in these pages.

Edith Wharton's

Brilliant Novel of Modern American

Society

THE MOTHER'S
RECOMPENSE

"Mrs. Wharton's best since 'The House of Mirth.' Always one comes back to Mrs. Wharton's consummate art. She can carry through a story without a break or lapse as only John Galsworthy in England can do. "The Mother's Recompense' stultifies criticism with the sheer naked grandeur of its living truth." -New York Times.

By Arthur Train

"Mr. Train is fed up with being a lawyer. In his preface he explains why with a frankness which will flutter legal dovecotes and cause many a learned brother to take up his pen.

"Other bad men besides lawyers are discussed at length in Mr. Train's engaging and informative manner. A great deal of reminiscence and legal lore salted by a sense of humor and a keen instinct for story-telling make up a book which the least legal mind and the most will enjoy."-The Independent.

Glamour: ESSAYS ON THE ART OF THE THEATRE

$3.00

By Stark Young

"That sly poet, that remarkable artist in prose, who presents himself to us in the masquerade of a critic, Stark Young-that 'delightful young man from Texas' to whom Henry James wrote his memorable letter of advice a decade ago. . . . A wise and subtle æsthetician, a sensitive and weariless student of the methods and materials of the artist, an explorer of the secret path between the creator and his work."-LAWRENCE GILMAN, North American Review.

The Portrait of Zélide

A distinguished American woman novelist writes of this book:

$2.00

By Geoffrey Scott

"I have had to read it in several sittings-not all at once, as I should have liked-and each time I have come to it, it has brought me back into the same mood. I think it a very beautiful piece of work, both delicate and deep, and poignant almost beyond endurance.” $3.75

Science and Religion

By Prof. J. Arthur Thomson

This internationally famous author of "The Outline of Science” discusses in an unusually interesting, suggestive, and clarifying manner Science and Religion and the so-called conflict between them. His aim has been to show that modern scientific formulation of the results of research and discovery cannot be regarded as antipathetic to religious interpretation.

This is what they have to say about

Edward W. Bok's new book, TWICE THIRTY

F. CHARLES SCHWEDTMAN, Vice-President of the National City Bank
of New York:

"I have read "Twice Thirty' with pleasure and profit and like it even better
than 'The Americanization of Edward Bok.' Both works will find a high
place among the best current American literature and will inspire every
American reader, especially every young man, with the marvellous oppor-
tunities of our country. Few modern writers have Mr. Bok's breadth of
vision combined with his very practical sense. To follow him means to
acquire a liberal education in practical idealism, both national and inter-
national."

MILTON E. AILES, President of the Riggs Bank, Washington, D. C. :
"It is one of the great books of the century. There is much in it that will
do any one good, especially a young man on the threshold of life."

A Famous Physician Adds His Commendation

MORTON PRINCE, M.D., of Boston, Mass.:

"I am in the midst of your extraordinarily interesting 'Twice Thirty' and
cannot wait to finish it before expressing to you my appreciation of it, as
well as my absorption in its story."

A Professor of Philosophy Couldn't Lay It Down

G. T. W. PATRICK, Professor of Philosophy, State University of Iowa: "My lecture yesterday in my philosophy class was a complete failure, and all because one of my students handed me on the day before a copy of 'Twice Thirty.' I spent all my spare time reading it. It is a wonderful book. One can hardly lay it down until it is finished."

ppose

that you are seated in a private room of a club, dining with
two friends. It is May, 1915, one week after the Lusitania
has been sunk. One of your friends is a robust, thick-set man;
his language is tempestuous, one fist crashes into his palm,
he fairly glares as he rips out his vivid phrases; then he will
smile, with a hearty flashing of teeth. The other man is
small, self-contained; he is immaculately dressed; his voice,
his gestures, his words, are careful, incisive, almost de-
tached. The names of the two men, who are talking with such
unreserved intimacy, are Theodore Roosevelt and Henry
Cabot Lodge. Do you think their talk would be interesting?
he pages
of this new book make you part of such a con-
sation not once but hundreds of times. It is the most im-
tant series of Roosevelt letters that has yet been published,
1 the letters of Lodge are an equally good chronicle of the
: quarter of his own life, the most spectacular period of his

osevelt and Lodge. To hot friend and ardent critic these
tters will be equally engrossing.

ELECTIONS FROM THE CORRESPONDENCE OF

THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND
HENRY CABOT LODGE

1884-1918

BAINBRIDGE COLBY, Secretary of State under President Wilson, in the New York Sun: "Here indeed is a feast and a store of riches. A source book not only for the historian, the biographer, and the political annalist, but for the explorer, the naturalist, the literary critic, the builders of armies and of navies, the makers of war and of peace, social and industrial reformers, lovers of country and all workers in great causes.

"In short, it is Theodore Roosevelt, the universal, inexhaustible, and incomparable man himself,
revealed in letters of extraordinary profusion covering every phase of his public career from the
early years when he was an assemblyman in Albany down to the final days preceding his sudden
and untimely death. . . . The publication of a collection of letters such as we have here, written
by one of the greatest actors on the world's stage, treating of historic events, the course of which
he powerfully influenced and often directed, in a form which is at once full, intimate, contemporane-
ous and unreserved, is an incident of surpassing, almost of exciting, interest to the reading
public."

The Boston Transcript: "Of permanent value, for they are of the material of which history is made.
So much a contribution to American history that they should be read in their entirety. . .
They may well stand by themselves in our national archives."

The Boston Globe: "Possibly the most remarkable volumes of their kind published in America in
many generations. . . . It is a correspondence unique among the papers of American statesmen
of all times."
