"A book which no one who reads it will ever forget."--_The Westminster Gazette._
"It is difficult to speak in measured terms of this exquisite story ... a consummate artist, his work eats into the heart, and lives in the memory as do but few books from modern authors."--_The Daily Telegraph._
"It is long since we have read a tragedy so intensely moving as the story of this innocent peasant girl.... 'The Nun' is a masterwork of fiction."--_The Daily Graphic._

2. In the advertising pages, titles were in bold font; + has been used in this text version to indicate that.
3. Following the title page, this edition included a page of magazine and newspaper reviews of William Le Queux's books. This has been moved to just before the advertising pages at the end of this e-text.
