Apologia Diffidentis. An intimate personal book.
Cloth. 8vo. $2.50 net. Postage 15 cents.
⸪ “Mr. Leith formulates the anatomy of diffidence as Burton
did of melancholy; and it might almost be said that he has done
it with equal charm. The book surpasses in beauty and distinction
of style any other prose work of the past few years. Its
charm is akin to that of Mr. A. C. Benson’s earlier books, yet
Mr. Benson at his best has never equalled this.... A human
document as striking as it is unusual.... The impress of
truth and wisdom lies deep upon every page.”—The Dial.

288ANATOLE FRANCE
“Anatole France is a writer whose personality is very strongly
reflected in his works.... To reproduce his evanescent grace and charm
is not to be lightly achieved, but the translators have done their work
with care, distinction, and a very happy sense of the value of
words.”—Daily Graphic.
“We must now all read all of Anatole France. The offer is too good to
be shirked. He is just Anatole France, the greatest living writer of
French.—Daily Chronicle.”
