One of the best stories of recent years. It had no large success on publication but the sale has steadily increased, every reader recommending it to others. Mr. George Merriam Hyde writes in the Book Buyer:
"The story seems to me the strongest and sincerest bit of fiction I have read since "Quo Vadis."
The Bookman says of it:
"A novel in praise of the most lovable of men of letters, not even excepting Charles Lamb, must be welcome, though in it the romance of Goldsmith's life may be made a little too much of for strict truth * * * Mr. Moore has the history of the time and of the special circle at his finger-ends. He has lived in its atmosphere, and his transcripts are full of vivacity. * * * "The Jessamy Bride" is a very good story, and Mr. Moore has never written anything else so chivalrous to man or woman."
