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.

This story is possessed of some interest, but it is much too protracted and spun out. 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.
