"Unsurpassably written, full of matter of historical value, and in excellence of composition, clearness of description and delineation of character is assuredly one of the first in the field."--_Chicago Journal_.

"The story is full of romance, life, and action.... One of those which demand reading through at a sitting."--_San Francisco Chronicle_.

"A picturesque and exciting panorama of the most brilliant and eventful period of old Italian history."--_London Times_.

"The book is a first-rate piece of work, and holds the reader enchained from the sensational outset to the very last page."--_London Athenaeum_.

"Stirring incidents and adventures follow so closely upon each other's heels that the reader becomes fascinated. It is a story to be read and reread for the mere pleasure the reading gives."--_New York Evening World_.
