On Lzfe and Letters. Second Series. By Anatole France. (John

Lane. 6s.)—M. France's style is so personal and charming that it is bound to lose something in translation, but what he says is always so interesting that it can be read with pleasure in Mr. A. W. Evans's dignified English. This second volume of La Vie Litteraire includes many striking adventures of a soul amongst masterpieces.
