"The influence of France upon English poetry," which is not in any sense a profile, was published in a French translation made by Henry D. Davray, in the Mercure de France and then as a separate brochure. The profiles are reprinted in part from the Fortnightly review, the Contemporary review, the International quarterly review, the Saturday review, the Daily chronicle, and Cosmopolis. cf. Pref.
