Gil Bias, his greatest work, originally appeared in 1715, but was not 390 The Eighteenth Century. [Bk. iv.
completed till twenty years later. He also wrote — besides one or two bright but trifling minor works of a fictitious character, La Valise Trouv^eia, letter-bag supposed to be picked up), Urn Journ£e des Parques, a keen piece of Lucianic satire, etc. — many other romances in the same general style as his great works, and more or less borrowed from Spanish originals. The chief of these are
...Guzman d'Al/arache, EsMvaniUe Gonzales, Le Bachelier de Sala- manque, and a curious Defoe-like book entitled Vie et Aventures de M. de BeaucMne. In his old age he retired to the house of his second son, who held a canonry at Boulogne, and resided there for some years, until, in 1^47, he died in his eightieth year. His works have hitherto been very insufficiently collected and edited.
Le Diable Boiteux and Gil Bias are far the greatest of Lesage's romances, and, as it happens, they are the most original, little except the starting-point being borrowed in the one case, and nothing but a few detached details in the other.
