Although this is supposed to be a story 0- ,es
present day, many of the events and person the
belong more to the romance days of old than to
matter-of-fact nineteenth century. In partieei.etP

The circumstances of his life are in themselves,;ll;
markable, and the manner in which he tracks
deadly adversary over land and sea to foreign 09_
tries, and through obscure localities, is fitardl
and astonishing. The finale is very well arrange°
It was not probable that two such characters, °no
confronted, would separate with life. Death

The principal character, although we are informs
that he is not the hero, is a young man of fashi

came the victim of the wicked and designing 4.ee:

other of his ruined prey, called him to a PP,:to
account. It must be confessed that More is 11ncl
very pleasing character, for he is vacillating;;.,
weak in resolves ; although he mistrusted -vviwoi
at times, he followed all his suggestions and Nv°l;hat
according to his orders. Lady Eva is also 17:0.

On further acquaintance she does not carry out

belle or feted beauty could have behaved iinerepo

and gentle bearing is a relief from the coquollsei

of men who had wound their toils round lore.
