This novel is based upon certain exciting events that occurred in Morocco during the past year. The author is an American gentleman residing in Tangier, who lately came to Washington to expose the cruelties existing in Morocco under the protection of the American flag. The political events of the narrative are secondary to the incidents of the story, while for the novelist’s purpose Russia and Russian personages take the place of the United States and Washington officials.
“The story is well told, and keeps the attention fixed throughout. It passes backward and forward, from Africa to Russia, and deals now with actual personages, now with creations of fancy.”—The Athenæum.
