Excerpt from The Three Musketeers, Vol. 1 of 2
Those readers who find a never-failing source of enjoyment in what Macaulay might have called the audacia Garcom'ca of d'artagnan, and in the simple-hearted, good-humored, unquestioning loy alty of Porthos, the Titan; who never tire of travelling with the famous four from Paris to London to save the honor of Anne of Austria; who follow with hated breath the gradual perver sion and corruption by Milady of the Puritan Felton, and shudder at the vengeance wreaked upon her by those to whom her hideous crimes have brought unhappiness and suffering, all such may take comfort in the assurance that every pain ful or pleasurable emotion they feel has been felt and acknowledged by those whose judgment in matters literary we love to respect. The list is a long one of eminent writers who have home testi mony to the enjoyment they have taken in the doughty deeds of the heroes of these volumes.
