invader supply the
hero with the earlier adventures in the story; but after a time the
scene changes to Rome, and then to Palestine in the days of the
fall of Jerusalem. Whilst passing from one moving scene to another,
the reader learns a good deal as to conditions of life under
review; but the information so conveyed is never obtrusive, and
never diverts attention from the outstanding scenes and figures in
this splendid romance.
