The City of Delight" Is a story OF
Jerusalem at the timeof the siege OF
the city by Titus. II Is written with a
more than common history sense. and
understanding OF the period In which
the story Is cast; and Is as successful
as such an attempt can very we'll be TO
reproduce an age that IL many CEN
turtles behind US. The patriotic spirit
OF the best OF the Jewish race Ia given
here such an expression as to show
that theauthor understands the splen-
did qualities that lay behind the fan
atical enthusiasm of the multitude
which risked the fatal challenge to
Rome for the sake Of religion.
The love story Is told admirably AMI
different types OF natives that are IA
miliar In the histories which have
come down TO us are represented with
a fidelity that Is at least convincing.
The writer OF this drama of siege and
fall is Elizabeth Miller, who Is also
the author OF the yoke" and Saul
and Tarsus,' two books that have CIV
en- her a reputation for scholarship
and sympathetic understanding OF q
very Interesting era in human history.
