Art. 23. The Pilgrim of the Cross: or the Chronicles of Christabelle de Mowbray. An ancient Legend. By Elizabeth Helme. 12mo. 4 Vols. 18s. sewed. Ostell, &c.

The reader anticipates the conclusion of the tale long before he has proceeded half through it; and, easily penetrating into the real character of the disguised agents, he grows tired of the folly of those who are misled by so obvious a deceit.
