- "In this story, which has a basis sufficiently historical to be called an historical romance, the reader will yet discover some few departures from what is usually received as history ... Nothing can be more contradictory and uncertain than the authorities, so called, on the subject of Gothic-Spain, particularly during the time which this story occupies."--Advertisement.
