AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sir Valdemar is a very true and perfect knight, who from boyhood was devoted to the giving and receiving of hard knocks, with a notable Christian inclination to give more than he received. Miss Fotheringham describes his many encounters with much spirit and detail, and she is not less successful when she comes to the time when her hero meets his Waterloo in the shape of the Lady Jean'.
