The description of the capital of the ancient world, of the intrigues and corruptions of decaying Paganism, of the struggles and conflicts of the early Church, of the wonderful catacombs in which they found protection and safety in life and a resting-place, in death, is singularly graphic, and indicates a skilful and practised pen."-Methodist Recorder.

By the same Author. Second Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 5s. "We gladly welcome a new book by the author of 'The Bairns.' That charming Canadian story opened a new field for readers of fiction. The present story is limited to Eastern Scotland. It is a family picture, settling down chiefly to the experiences of a charming old maiden aunt-a most admirable delineation-and an equally charming niece." British Quarterly Review.
