Croly, Irish divine, poet and author, writes the story of the destruction of Jerusalem by Romans under Titus; and here, as in Marston, a romance of the French Revolution and the subsequent European warfare, Croly touches, on another side, the historical novelists. This remarkable historical romance begins: Tarry thou till I come. The words shot through me-I felt them like an arrow in my heart-my brain whirled-my eyes grew dim. The troops, the priests, the populace, the world, passed away from before my senses like phantoms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
