"Charming is the one word to describe this volume adequately. Dr.
Doyle's crisp style and his rare wit and refined humor, utilized
with cheerful art that is perfect of its kind, fill these chapters
with joy and gladness for the reader."--_Philadelphia Press_.
"Bright, brave, simple, natural, delicate. It is the most artistic
and most original thing that its author has done.... We can
heartily recommend 'A Duet' to all classes of readers. It is a good
book to put into the hands of the young of either sex. It will
interest the general reader, and it should delight the critic, for
it is a work of art. This story taken with the best of his previous
work gives Dr. Doyle a very high place in modern
letters."--_Chicago Times-Herald_.

Herald_.
_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD._
_A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier._

indulged in by 'The Three Musketeers.' ... Written with a dash and
swing that here and there carry one away."--_New York Mail and
Express_.
_RODNEY STONE._
"A notable and very brilliant work of genius."--_London Speaker_.
"Dr. Doyle's novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident
and excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the
human side of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere
charged with the spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting
Anglo-Saxon."--_New York Critic_.
