"Mr. Hornung is a natural humorist, and has the art of telling a story."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. "It is pleasant to turn to a real story by a real story- writer. Such is 'My Lord Duke.' . . . Its story is its own, both in plot and in characterization. It is a capital little novel."—The Nation.

"Whether Lowndes be entirely realized or not does not much matter; the conception of him is already a distinction. He is an adventurer of genius, but not built on the usual lines. . . And his vitality is inexhaustible. We leave him, not without a stain upon his character, but with considerable regret in our minds."—The Bookman.
