d'eStime. LES Mains sales,"
"Huis- Clos" and la Putaine
reSpecteuse" are now fol-
lowed by the French existen-
tialist's latest, THE Con-
demned of Altona', which
may well be considered the
best of the lot. Sartre has
had the great good luck to
be able to create his own
legend, not only through his
work, which though always
highly controversial is direct
and popular, but through a
constant personal association
with his readers, and also his
non-readers. No one is always
sure just what a Sartre play,
novel or short story means,
but he sees the author in 1t,
and he likes it.

ground material. a clear. bold,
exciting page.
In his first will, drawn up
June %, 1850, Franklin
thanked God that he had
early been freed of "Ambi-
tion. Avarice and Supersti-
tion," and spoke Of his mind
as being reasonable and with
moderate passions. Franklin
is the supreme example of the
well-adjusted great man;
he was almost another
Goethe, and If it had been in
his temper to exercise his
creative genius to the point
of white -heat-if he had ever
: thought it worthwhile to ex-
tend himself beyond the Wis
ible limit = he might have
been the truly universal man,
a twin Of the great German.
But while few Americans
have been able to write as

tist, statesman, poet, printer,
editor, civil servant, gentle-
man, athlete, and lover en-
joyed a contentment that
refused to be nagged by a

The present volume, which
runs from January l, l745, to
June 80. 1750, from Frank
Inns seth through 44th year,
contains q good representa-
tive sample of the entire
Franklin canon. His great
est interest at this time was
his study Of electricity: he
delighted both In writing
about 1t and in showing off
his experiments in his house.
Other scientific pursuits that
occupied him were glass
making, the devising Of q

Three Of the most brilliant
Of Franklin's literary jeHr

letter to a friend, advising
him to marry rather than
take a mistress, but offering
sound and humorous advice
in case he chooses to disre-
gard the primary counsel.
