New York and London: Grosset & Dunlap, 1903.

Here we have a book with a hero of the good old swashbuckler type. A polished courtier, the familiar friend of Charles of England and Louis of France, Monsieur Mornay, Vicomte de Brasac, can yet turn buccaneer, and, as Bras-de-Fer of the Saucy Sally, piratically sweep the Spanish Main. Mistress Barbara Clerke is a heroine worthy of such a hero. But the reader must find out for himself what the love of Monsieur was like, and the stirring adventures on land and sea that befell this strenuous pair —Outlook, 13 June 1903.
