This is the history of a love affair of a famous English beau in the time of George IV. The heroine is a ravishingly beautiful country girl, with whom the beau becomes infatuated. By the aid of her country lover she is rescued from the wiles of the fashionable dandy, and his schemes are thwarted.
“The story is on a high plane; it is a romance which is entirely free from the melodramatic quality; in a word, a novel that will enhance the author’s reputation as a writer of fiction of far more than ordinary attainments.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
“He has presented to us the only living beau we have met this many a year; and where so many hundreds have failed, to say this is the highest compliment we can pay his book.”—The Outlook.

“‘Three Speeds Forward’ is an amusing automobile story by Lloyd Osbourne, in which the ostensible teller of what happened is the girl heroine. A little runabout is the important factor in the love romance. The book is prettily bound and printed and is illustrated.”—Toledo Blade.
“‘Three Speeds Forward,’ by Lloyd Osbourne, is a very brief and most agreeable novelette dealing with modern society and the chug-chug wagon.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
