'L'ile des Pingouins': a novel by Anatole France; 1908. Autograph draft of the first two thirds of Vermillard's speech in Book VI, chapter VIII (Le procès Colomban), written on one side only of a quarto leaf of cream wove paper, probably formerly part of a larger leaf. No watermark. The final text found in the MS. differs in many places from the version printed on p. 287 of L'Ile des Pingouins, 1908. A corrected galley proof with MS. additions preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale reveals that Vermillard's speech was added at the proof stage. The text shows that Ashley B2939 antedates the MS. additions to the proof. [Ashley Library Catalogue, i, p. 252].
