  vol. 5 (1805): 887-8.
 
The Nuns of the Desart [sic]; or the Woodland Witches. By Eugenia de Acton. 2 vols. 12mo. 9s. Lane & Newman.

The language of this story is possessed of all the extravagance which is so ridiculous when employed upon [888] trifling matters. The incidents are very improbable, and often flat and uninteresting, and the tale is constructed with very little taste or judgment. [complete]
