Louisa; or the Cottage on the Moor
    (Review / Louisa: or, The Cottage on the Moor, by Elizabeth Helme)
  Critical Review /JAS, 1787
  vol. 63 (1787): 308.
 
Louisa; or, the Cottage on the Moor. 2 Vols. 12mo. 6s. Kearsley.

This is a pleasing little artless tale, much superior, both in its plan and conduct, to the numerous productions of this class. Curiosity is skilfully excited, expectation kept momentarily alive, and, at last, the intricacies are unravelled very satisfactorily. We believe, as is asserted, that the story may be true, in its outline; but much must have been added to attract and to adorn. [complete]
