The title suggests the character of the stories, which are, for the most
part, miniature studies of men and women, done with exquisite grace and
with no little power. M. Bourget is just now one of the foremost figures
among contemporary French writers. He is a critic as well as a
novelist._--Christian Union._

From the "Pastels of Men." Translated by Katharine Prescott Wormeley.

The "saint" is an old monk who lives with only two others in one of
those old monasteries in Italy which, since the government decree, have
gradually fallen into disuse. It is a beautiful little story, in which
we are taught the lesson of Christ's manner of dealing with those who
are tempted and go astray, and are brought back into the right
path.--_Boston Times._
M. Bourget is a master of literary art; his portraits are drawn with a
wonderful distinctness, and with a realism that is as true to the
possibilities of human nature as it is fascinating.--_Boston Home
Journal._
