ost exacting
reader. The incidents recited are of extreme interest, and are not drawn
out into noticeable tenuity.

The Outlook: "The Courtship of Maurice Buckler" is not only full of
action and stimulating to curiosity, but tells a quite original plot in
a clever way. Perhaps in its literary kinship it approaches more closely
to "The Prisoner of Zenda" than to any other recent novel, but there is
no evidence of imitation; the resemblance is in the spirit and dash of
the narrative. The merit of this story is not solely in its grasp on the
reader's attention and its exciting situations; it is written in
excellent English, the dialogue is natural and brisk, the individual
characters stand out clearly, and the flavor of the time is well
preserved.
