This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAP. XI. THE FAMILY OF D'AUBUSSON. -- DESCRIPTION OF RHODES. THE THREE RENEGADES.--ARRIVAL OF THE TURKISH ARMY AT RHODES. -- FIRST ATTACK ON THE TOWER OF ST.
