These adventures of the proud and powerful Seigneur de Beaufoy throw a striking side light on the political and social condition of France during the time of Charles VII. and his crafty son, Louis XI. How Beaufoy ruled his wide domains, warred with his neighbors, succored the weak and humbled the powerful, opposed priest and abbot, made terms with dauphin and king,—all this is set forth with a purity of style and a dramatic force that stamp Mr. Drummond as one of the leading romancers of the day.
