To the lover of genuine romance this novel will bring pure enjoyment. Clinton Verrall, the hero, who narrates his adventures, claims to have discovered, on the southern slopes of one of the Caucasian ranges, a marvellous and hitherto unknown land which, by a sudden and gigantic landslip, was cut off from the rest of Europe and "stopped short" at the Middle Ages. Of his singular adventures therein, his hairbreadth escapes, and final exit therefrom, we can only say they are well worth the reading, and the book is not likely to be laid aside unfinished.
