Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Attila, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance
From a stupor, in which all memory and every power of thought had been at an end, Theodore woke as feeble and incapable as when, in the nurse's arms, he moved his mother's heart by his first infant cry. The same feelings of tenderness; the same mingled emotions, where pity and h0pe and the pleasure of protecting, all unite; the same sensations of affectionate interest for the thing we rear and guard and watch for, as those which fill the breast of a mother towards her child, affected, though in a less degree, those who attended the couch of the young Roman during his illness and convalescence. It was but slowlyseae recovered: for the fever, which had seized upon him, had been fierce and powerful; and it had been only unfaded youth's tenacity of life, and the natural vigour of his frame, which had finally conquered that terrible assailant.
