THE LEGEND OF DON RODERICK. NUMBER TWO.The course of our legendary narration now returns to notice the fortunes of Count Julian, after his departure from Toledo, to resume his government on the coast of Barbary.

In fact, when he arrived at Ceuta he found his post in imminent danger from the all-conquering Moslems.
