As exquisite in its form, color, and delicacy, as a choice piece of Sèvres porcelain."--_Literary World_.
"This lovely idyl of French provincial life introduces to the notice of American readers Theuriet, one of the most quietly enjoyable among modern French novelists, and one who holds rank among the highest for his portraiture of the charms of country landscapes, and the sweet peace and happiness clustering around country-life."--_Providence Journal_.
"Its chief merit lies in the admirable skill with which it is told, the skill in apt narration, which seems to be a birthright of all Frenchmen, and which men of other races never fail to admire, and never succeed in imitating."--_New York Evening Post_.
"There is much charm in the narrative, the characters are vigorously sketched, the descriptive portions, especially of out-door life, are picturesque and animated, and the whole is distinguished by grace and delicacy."--_Boston Gazette_.
"'Gérard's Marriage' is as exquisite of its kind as Tennyson's 'Princess,' and its moral is that of the old song, 'Love will find out the way.'"--_New York Express_.
"The use of these simple materials is so artistic, and the story is so deftly told, that the book is delightful from beginning to end."--_Detroit Post_.
"The story is pleasant, the characters drawn with that light, firm touch, peculiar to a Frenchman; the colloquy, if not brilliant, always to the purpose, and about the whole there plays a poetic light that is not the less charming because it is so wholly French."--_New York World_.
"André Theuriet excels in the painting of rural scenes, and the skillful management of romantic comedy."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean_.
"The story is told, particularly the trials of the lovers, with great vivacity and brilliancy, in which particulars the French seem to excel all other nations."--_Boston Commonwealth_.
"Affords a charming illustration of the exceeding elegance, refinement, and delicacy, that mark the romances of André Theuriet, one of the most graceful and popular French novelists of the present time."-- _Providence Journal_.
