“We may compare Mr. Scott’s book on polar exploration with the original records, and it will stand the test. It covers both the arctic and antarctic regions, and may be commended to any reader as a compilation that tells in a way that interests the story of many leading incidents in polar research.” Cyrus C. Adams.

7–18101.
England in the time of Richard III, forms the setting for this tale of romance and adventure which takes place close about the throne. Beatrix, beauty, heiress, and countess of Clare is won by the young knight and courtier De Lacy beneath the friendly smiles of both king and queen, while their love affair is troubled by abduction and bloodshed, and influenced by the great events which stir the kingdom and even threaten the crown.
“Rather better than the average of its kind.”

“Done with a freshness and a verve that makes one forgive the familiar situations, and well-worn devices, and for an idle hour quite enjoy the knight’s tempestuous wooing of his wilful lady.”
