whatever peril he plunged he is rescued from II by his
chiyrous ENnvagant some OF these INCL

great skill and historical portions with strict adherence
to the recorded annals.


There are several characters the work which are drawn
with great felicity and ability Corse de Leon himself we do
no, greatly like; not because his character Is rot
well dcpic,rl-but have grea, liking for sentimental
villains however noble and imposing their appearance or
however finely they may talk We hive but ttc patience
with hrsorl-a mountain robber and outlaw reading lee
tc. on morals and exposing the hoowneN+ OF society and
,bo r,o, ;ni,s,cc of human laws We npt to believe
him prcaa,cea his oPnionshs Judgment bears the mp
pcarancc OF having been warped and distorcdSo that we
can hardly believe hm III person TO sit IN Judgment on the
require mcnts of Law and Justice.
