Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Virginians: A Tale of the Last Century
This feat was achieved without any attempt on the part of the French to molest the British force but, 'as it was confidently asserted that there was a considerable French force in the town of St. Malo, though they wouldn't come out, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough and my Lord George Sackville determined not to disturb the garrison, marched back to Cancale again, and - and so got on board their ships.
If this were not a veracious history, don't you see that it would have been easy to send our Virginian on a more glorious campaign Exactly four weeks after his departure from England, Mr. Warrington found himself at Portsmouth again, and addressed a letter to his brother George, with which the latter ran off to Dean Street so soon as ever he received it.
Glorious news, ladies! Cries he, finding the Lambert family all at breakfast. Our champion has come back. He has undergone all sorts of dangers, but has survived them all. He has seen dragons upon my word, he says so.
