This article critically appraises the book "The French Miracle and French Civilization: Two Essays," by Victor Giraud. They who have done this book love France and would serve her. They have done well. The author's writing is a crown of honor for his country; the work of the translators has singular clearness and beauty. The first of these essays, published not long after France saved herself at the Marne, has all the excellence of form which one expects in French writing. It is like some splendid oration pronounced after mighty deed in classic city of olden time. It does not fail to suggest the grand exaltation and praise which the greatest of Greek historians ascribes to the greatest statesman of Athens.
