Wack, Henry Wellington. Romance of Victor Hugo and Juliette Drouet. [**]$1.50. Putnam.
A bundle of letters written to Hugo by Madame Drouet in 1851 and discovered by Mr. Wack on a ramble thru the island of Guernsey, forms the basis of this book. An introduction by M. François Coppée, the story of the relations of the poet and Juliette for fifty years and of the poet’s life at Hauteville house by Mr. Wack, and many illustrations complete the volume.
Reviewed by Jeannette L. Gilder.

“The introduction by François Coppée is especially interesting not only on account of the view that it furnishes of Hugo as seen by an enthusiastic young poet, but because of its literary excellence and the charming delicacy with which he has related his experiences.”
