ACADEMY.—“A capital romance.”

COUNTRY LIFE.—“This story of the later years of the eighteenth century will rank high in literature. It is a fine and spirited romance set in a slight but elegant and accurate frame of history. The book itself has a peculiar and individual charm by virtue of the stately language in which it is written.... It is stately, polished, and full of imaginative force.”

LIVERPOOL DAILY MERCURY.—“The book is written in a strong and terse style of diction with a swift and vivid descriptive touch. In its grasp of character and the dramatic nature of its plot it is one of the best novels of its kind since Stevenson’s Prince Otto.”
