Le Braz, Anatole. Land of pardons; tr. by Francis M. Gostling. *$2. Macmillan.
A translation of the 1900 edition of this work. “The book was a collection of hitherto unprinted legends of the early Breton saints supplemented by sympathetic descriptions of the modern ceremonies in their honor (known as ‘pardons’) which are the last vestiges of the ancient ‘Feasts of the dead.’” (Nation.)
“We can well sympathize with the translator’s desire to linger over its pages as a labour of love, and we hope that a speedy call for a second edition will give her an opportunity of careful revision.”
