" A charming romance is ' Monsieur Beaucaire,' by Mr. Booth Tarkington. 

 Lots of love making and brilliant sword play, wittv and unforced dialogue, and a 

 series of climaxes that are admirably dramatic are skillfully put together in a 

 manner as happy as that of Mr. Anthony Hope in his palmiest days."

read the story. ... It is 



an unusually clever piece of work." 



— Harper's Weekly. 



"Monsieur Beaucaire is a successful book. ... It is successful because it 

 is so very good ; because when you once begin to read it you must go on to the 

 end before you lay it down. ... It is a story written by a master of the art of 

 story-telling. ... It is full of gayety and the joy of life. ... It is the most 

 brilliant and startling of its kind that we have seen in many a day. " 



— New York Commercial Advertiser. 



" One of the most charming and delicate bits of fiction which have appeared 

 for a long time. . . . This young man (Mr. Tarkington) seems to have the 

 dramatic instinct and touch to a greater degree than any other American writer 

 now before the reading public. . . . After careful consideration we record, with- 

 out hesitation and with complete confidence, our conviction that a few years 

 hence Mr. Booth Tarkington will hold one of the most enviable positions ever 

 held by an American novelist. In a word, we look to him as the probable 

 coming man." — The Bookman.
