PROBUS, OR ROME IN THE THIRD CENTURY,
IN LETTERS FROM LUCIUS M. PISO FROM ROME, TO FAUSTA THE
DAUGHTER OF GRACCHUS, AT PALMYRA.

From the North American Review, for October, 1838.

“The Letters from Palmyra, or Zenobia, is one of the most brilliant additions
to American Literature. To have fallen on a subject of such admirable
capabilities, and unappropriated by previous seekers after attractive themes for
works of fiction, was a piece of rare good 'fortune in an age of such literary
abundance as the present—to have treated it in a manner fully equal to its demands
on the imagination, required high powers, persevering labor, and the
keenest perception. All which has been done in this beautiful work.”
