"This is the latest offering of the author of 'The Amber Gods,' and
it is as odd as striking, and as impressive in its shadowy
implication as anything she has ever written. Handled differently,
the incidents would seem theatrical; as told by Mrs. Spofford, the
story is like the vivid passages of a drama from which, once seen,
you cannot escape. Pleasant or unpleasant they force themselves
upon the consideration and lay hold of the imagination. So it is
with 'The Marquis of Carabas.'"--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"'The Marquis of Carabas,' by Harriet Prescott Spofford, is a work
of unique quality, being really a poem in the guise of a prose
novel. The thought is tense and sublimated, and the style glowing,
musical and polished. There is abundant invention in the story, and
nothing of common-place and indolent imitation which in the case of
ordinary raconteurs contributes so largely to swell the bulk of
results. The narrative fascinates one, but the fascination is not
of a stream flowing largely and naturally through the landscape; it
is rather that of silver bells, whose clear, finely modulated
chimes touch the finer issues of feeling, but not without some
obtrusive sense of study and premeditation."--_Home Journal._
