Not since the absorbing adventures of D'Artagnan have we had anything so
good in the blended vein of romance and comedy. The beggar student, the
rich goldsmith, the roisterer and the rake, the fop and the maid, are
all here: foremost among them Captain Ravenshaw himself, soldier of
fortune and adventurer, who, after escapades of binding interest,
finally wins a way to fame and to matrimony.
