Sismondi devotes a part of the thirteenth volume of his _History of
France_, published between 1821 and 1844, to the Maid of Orleans. He
sums up the action of the Church to her in these words: 'The Church
was against the Maid. All persons not delegated by her who pretended
to have supernatural powers were accused of using magical arts.'

Barante in his famous history of the Dukes of Burgundy, published in
1824, gives a somewhat meagre and uninteresting account of Joan of
Arc. In 1821 appeared a _Life_ of the heroine, by Jollois, under whose
direction the little monument was placed at Domremy in honour of the
Maid.

Alexandre Dumas has left among his numberless works a Life of _Johanne
la Pucelle,_ which is neither true history nor romance, but a jumble
of both, and is a work hardly worthy the author, but there are some
fine expressions in the book. Dumas christened Joan of Arc 'The Christ
of France.' Michelet in the fifth volume of his _Histoire de France_
published in 1841, has written what will probably always be considered
the best account of the Maid. Although only one hundred and thirty
pages are given to her life, these pages form a book in themselves,
and as a separate volume Michelet's _Life of Joan of Arc_ has gone
through a large number of editions, the latest a handsome illustrated
one, published by Hachette in 1888.

One cannot help regretting that so great a writer should allow his
Anglophobism to appear to such an extent in some of the pages of his
work. Michelet attacks the entire English nation as if they had been
individually and collectively guilty of Joan of Arc's death. He even
goes out of his way to abuse English literature in this amazing
passage: 'De Shakespeare a Milton, de Milton a By
