OUTLINE OF STORY.

“The author presents to boys a valuable picture of life in Northumbria thirteen hundred years ago. The scene is laid in the neighbourhood of York. The early chapter affords a picture of the life, education, and pleasures of boys of the time. While engaged in a hunting expedition the four boy heroes, with three companions, are captured by sea robbers, taken abroad, and fall into the hands of a trader who takes them to Rome and sells them as slaves. Deacon Gregory buys three of them, two boys are purchased by Pamphronius, and two by another Roman.”—Standard.
