A story for young people which turns back to France in the 16th century when Catholics and Huguenots were engaged in hostilities. The hero is a youth who enters upon the perilous undertaking of carrying an important packet to the Huguenot leader, Admiral de Coligny, and later joins him in a campaign filled with daring adventure.
“It is by much the best book of its kind sent us for review this season, and stands head and shoulders above its rivals.”
