Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Zenobia Queen of Palmyra: A Tale of the Roman Empire in the Days of the Emperor Aurelian The present work, which is of American authorship, was first published in New York, in two volumes duodecimo, several years ago; and both from the able manner in which the subject was treated, and the exceeding elegance of the style, it soon attracted universal attention. It has since passed through several editions in America, and been reprinted in London, but at such an expense as to place it beyond the means of the more ordinary class of purchasers, and, in point of fact, to keep it from being generally known in Britain. The present People´s Edition will, it is hoped, bring the work within the reach of every one who possesses a taste for a pure and elevating kind of reading, and give it that place in our popular literature which it so eminently deserves. In, perhaps, no instance has English literature received so valuable an accession from the western shores of the Atlantic. With respect to the nature and character of the work, we may be permitted to quote the following notice from the North American Review, for October 1837: - "This work seems to be rapidly gaining the reputation which it so well deserves. It is an historical romance. Piso, the imagined author of the Letters, is supposed to have visited Palmyra towards the close of the third century, to have become acquainted with Zenobia and her court, to have seen the city in its glory, and to have witnessed its destruction by Aureiian.
