Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Tolla: A Tale of Modern Rome
The interest excited by such high praise from a journal which is not apt to be over lenient in its criticisms, has since been kept up by the discussion of a charge of plagiarism brought against the author. This discussion has not yet terminated; but whatever may be the final result of the controversy, the story itself possesses so much merit that every one who reads it will be grateful to M. About for casting the incidents into a form at once so simple and so fascinating.
