Art. 39. Louisa; or the Cottage on the Moor. 12mo. 2 Vols. 6s. sewed. Kearsley. 1787.
A not unpleasing, but rather improbable tale.
---'In all you say or do,
Ever keep probability in view.'
says a celebrated didactic poet; and this is a rule, for the observance of which we have ever been, and ever must be sticklers. If, however, we admit that the incidents of this Novel may possibly come within the line of natural fiction, as our author calls it, the fable is then intitled to praise, as it is woven with no little degree of art. The narrative, some few passages excepted, is prettily written.
