"The author has the lightness of touch and sweep of imagination which impart a real thrilling vitality to the romantic novel."
Daily Telegraph—
"A delightful book. The romance that Gallet has woven around his hero is one of the masterpieces of French literature. So vividly delineated are the dramatis persona, so interesting and enthralling are the incidents in the development of the tale, that it is impossible to skip one page, or lay down the volume until the last words are read."
Daily News—
"The story is always in movement, and stirring incidents follow each other in inexhaustible succession."
The Star—
"A brisk, slashing, galloping, gallant affair. Both the time and the manner are wittily hit off."
Dublin Express—
"An excellent romance, well constructed and well told."
Pall Mall Gazette—
