_ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE._—“Interesting as specimens of romance, the style
of writing is so excellent—scholarly and at the same time easy and
natural—that the volumes are worth reading on that account alone. But
there is also masterly description of persons, places, and things;
skilful analysis of character; a constant play of wit and humour; and a
happy gift of instantaneous portraiture.”
