“The book consists of more than forty letters, all purporting to be from a writer who is cursed with the artistic temperament, and addressed to a lady with whom he has fallen in love.... Every one of these letters explains, from one aspect or another, the writer’s conviction that courtship and marriage would involve infidelity to his true mistress—his art.”—Ath.


“The writing of these letters, from the literary standpoint, is excellent. The sameness of the matter in them, tends to spoil the book, which would have been more interesting if it had included some of the replies to these highly wrought outpourings.”
