12mo. Cloth. $1.35 net
Not since Thackeray, indeed, has any English novelist done a more impressive study of the typical Englishman. It is not only a good story; it is a notable study of national character.—Baltimore Sun.
Not merely a splendid opportunity for contrast between the temperamental differences of French and English, but a narrative of earnest merit. We are met by a full world of English characters.—New York Post.
First and last, interesting. It is crowded with impressions, glimpses, and opinions. There are many characters and they are all living.... Reading his book is a real adventure, by no means to be missed.—New York Times.
A vigorous novel based upon the process—constructive and destructive—whereby a typical French youth, mercurial, passionate, spectacular, is transformed into a staid and stolid English householder and husband.—Chicago Herald.
Mr. George, one of the most promising of the younger English writers, has shown the process of naturalization from a more striking viewpoint, in this story of the changing of a Frenchman into an English citizen. With this purpose and his nervous, irritable nature trouble is sure to ensue, and he has adventures in plenty.—Boston Transcript.
"Once read, will not quickly be forgotten."—Providence Journal.
