The book is marked by the same sparkle and cleverness of the author’s earlier work, to which is added a dignity and force which makes it most noteworthy. “Here is a novel that not only provides the reader with a succession of sprightly adventures, but furnishes a narrative brilliant, witty and clever. The period is the first half of that most fascinating, picturesque and epoch-making century, the eighteenth. Francezka is a winsome heroine. The story has light and shadow and high spirits, tempered with the gay, mocking, debonair philosophy of the time.”--_Brooklyn Times._ Charmingly illustrated by Harrison Fisher Bound in green and white and gold 12mo, cloth.
