England would be incomplete without a sketch of the days when Rome ruled Britain.
Beric is a young British chief in the days of Boadicea, who is taken to Rome as a hostage, and learns the secret of her conquests. He teaches his own tribe some of the lessons he had learnt, and manages to win a great victory over the Romans, but the rude Britons who flock to Boadicea’s standard disregard Beric’s counsels, because they think themselves invincible.
They are soon utterly routed by Suetonius. Beric and some of his friends, who take refuge in the Fens, are betrayed, and sent to Rome to be trained as gladiators. How Beric saves a Christian girl from the lions, wins and loses Nero’s favor, and at last returns to Britain, we must allow you to read the story and enjoy the illustrations.
This spirited story will delight every reader, and give them a good description of the early days of this country, as well as of life in Rome during the reign of Nero.

Twelve illustrations by William Parkinson as shown in the Scribner Son's edition of 1902 are included in this eBook.
