Cabell, James Branch. [Gallantry.] $2. Harper.
7–32561.
“An eighteenth century dizain in ten comedies with an afterpiece.” There is romance true to the times of the second George and there is also much strange love-making in these tales of a day when gallantry ranked with the arts, when wit was broad and the sword was ready. The illustrations in color by Howard Pyle add much to the volume.
“His descriptions of the gallant is a bit of very pretty writing in prose, pleasantly suggestive, as is the versified prologue, of Mr. Andrew Lang.”

“We may safely say that while not for an instant comparing with such a masterpiece as Mr. Hewlett’s ‘Stooping lady,’ it has infinitely more merit than many such popular successes as, to take one example, ‘Monsieur Beaucaire.’”

“A vigorous romance ... with the swift spirit of love and swords.”
