Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cleopatra, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance
IF the author should be told that the senti mental love Of our day was unknown to the pagan world, he would not cite last the two lovers, An tony and Cleopatra, and the will Of the powerful Roman general, in which he expressed the desire, wherever he might die, to be buried beside the woman whom he loved to his latest hour. His wish was fulfilled, and the love-life Of these two distinguished mortals, which belongs to history, has more than once afforded to art and poesy a welcome subject.
