"Men and women may read it with an assured anticipation of enjoyment."—Daily Chronicle.
"He is an artist consummate and supreme ... The dialogue which runs between them, the nicely-balanced sally and repartee, the subtly-builded sentences, the proper arrangement of epithets, the quaint affectation of the style and through all the fine flavour and exhalations of the eighteenth century, are such that no lover of literature can afford to miss."—Pall Mall Gazette. ”

"A collection of nine stories admirably told by a master who has been much copied but never equalled. Mr. Marriott Watson has all the qualities of strength, imagination, and style, combined with a very complete sense of proportion."—Vanity Fair. ”
