Notices of the Press.
“A lively story of love, jealousy, and intrigue.”—N. Y. Com. Advertiser.
“Another proof of Dumas’s unrivalled talent.”—Middletown Sentinel.
“The tale is a simple one, but exciting and interesting. The scene is laid in Villers-Cotterêts in France. The reputation of the author is so firmly established, that in our stating that the translation is a faithful one, our readers who are novel readers will have heard sufficient.”—Phila. Register.
“A capital story. The reader will find the interest increase to the end.”—Phila. Gaz.
“The present volume fully sustains the high reputation of its author; it shows a very high order of genius. The translation is such perfectly good English, that we easily forget that we are not reading the work in the language in which it was originally written.”—Albany Argus.
“A short, but stirring romance.”—Boston Atlas.
