ABSTRACT
It is our intention shortly to offer some general remarks on the rather numerous historical romances which have been published within the last two or three months; but the one whose title we here give, which has come to us the last, is so remarkable a production that we will not wait for our proposed article on such romances in general before we recommend it to our readers. The first work of a new aspirant after fame in this class of literature, it is one sufficient in itself to entitle its author to a place in the foremost rank.
