Nothing short of a careful study of the history of the period will give so clear a knowledge of this little known age as the reading of this book. _A Maid of the First Century_ _By Lucy Foster Madison_, _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_ A little maid of Palestine goes in search of her father, who for political reasons, has been taken as a slave to Rome.
