"A story of really remarkable excellence."—Daily Telegraph.
"There is passion in this story and humour. A romance of most uncommon sincerity."—Sketch.
"This history of the career of John Friend, a spy in the pay of Napoleon, is a powerful one. Finely pictured. Strong and written with conspicuous ability."—Academy.
"Its descriptions of Brighton society when Mrs. Fitzherbert asserted her influence are in the nature of vivid reminiscences. So far the year has given us no novel more soundly brilliant."—Dundee Advertiser.
"The author deserves hearty congratulation. The book can hardly fail to make its mark. The story is of the time of Pitt and Nelson and of the dreaded Napoleonic invasion. The social atmosphere is very happily indicated.... There seems something almost miraculous in this achievement of Mrs. Garnett's."—Manchester Guardian.
"A clever, ingenious, and convincing study of two curious persons; of a strong man noble in impulse and destitute of general controlling principles, and a woman bound to a man who had touched her at a thousand points in the long alliance of marriage."—Daily News.
