"No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws....

The chronicle conveys the emotion of heroic adventure, and is picturesquely written."--London Daily News. "It has literary merits all its own, of a deliberate and rather deep order....

The incidents are most ingenious, they are told quietly, but with great cunning, and the Quixotic sentiment which pervades it all is exceedingly pleasant."--Westminster Gazette.
