Count Hannibal (1901)
by Stanley J. Weyman
Mr, Weyman here returns from his recent incursions into English eighteenth-century life to that of France in earlier days. This semi-historical romance has not always the compact force of Mr, Weyman's earlier French tales, but it certainly does not lack of action, and some of the characters are clearcut—most of all Count Hannibal de Tavannes himself, a nobleman who fights for the king against the Huguenots (the story begins with the St. Bartholomew massacre), and who loves even better than he fights. —From "Books of the Week," Outlook magazine, Dec 1901.

... taken altogether, the book is one of his most successful productions. It must be confessed, however, that it smacks of formula, and scarcely strikes one as having obsessed the author. —From The Literary Digest, January 4 1902
