Of the brilliant group of men who have made contemporaneous French
literature, of that coterie toward which the eyes of all the reading
world have been turned with admiration and interest during the last half
a century, Daudet was the greatest. He was the most universal, the most
original, the most human.--_From an Article in The Book Buyer, by L. Van
Vorst._

Has, perhaps, transferred bodily into his writings more actual events,
related in the newspapers, in the court-house, or in society, than any
other writer of the present age. Of some of his novels one hardly dare
say that they are works of fiction; their characters are men and women
of our time; they do in the book almost exactly what they had done in
real life.--_Prof. Adolph Cohn, in The Bookman._

He is a novelist to his finger-tips. No one has such grace, such
lightness and brilliancy of execution.--_Henry James, in The Century._

The slightest pages from his pen will preserve the vibration of his soul
so long as our tongue exists imperishable. He is the author of twenty
masterpieces.--EMILE ZOLA.
