The Widowed Bride, or Celina. A Novel founded on Facts. By Sarah Ann Hook. 3 Vols. 12mo. Lane and Newman, 1803.
In the list of female worthies who adorn the present age by their genius, the fair author of this novel is entitled to no mean rank. Nature seems to have been her guide, and elegant simplicity the language she has adopted. The Widowed Bride is written with all the simplicity of Sterne, and in many parts is equally fascinating with the style of that popular writer. [complete]
