ART. XXV. Adela Northington; a Novel. In Three Volumes. By Mrs. Burke. pp. 414. 12mo. 10s. boards. Cawthorn, Strand. London, 1796.
We wish it came within the limits of this publication to relate the story of Adela Northington, and do justice to its author. We recommend it for its lively fancy and flowing style; proper, impressive, and animated, without affectation. There are many parts of this work that will draw the tear of sensibility; at the same time that there are others that will amuse the more lively reader. The whole is much superior to any thing of the kind that had lately come into our hands before we read [Inchbald's Nature and Art, likewise here reviewed].
