Art.. VIII - Canterbury Tales. Vol. 5. By Harriet Lee. 8vo.
On the appearance of a fifth and final volume, it is rather too late to commence the criticism of a work: the public has had abundant time to appreciate the merits of miss Lee's Canterbury Tales; and the encouragement which has induced her to bring them to a close, testifies that the verdict has been in her favour. The present volume will not be read with less interest than the preceding ones; the fertile imagination of the fair author gives no symptom of exhaustion: her pictures, if not taken from life, are such as life might possibly have presented; the drawing is free, and the colouring good.
