Art. 30. Canterbury Tales. Vol. V. By Harriet Lee. 8vo. pp. 258. 8s Boards. Wilkie.
Of Miss Lee's talents as a writer of this species of novel, we have formerly given our opinion (see M.R. Vol. 38. N.S. p. 331). Her narratives are perhaps too much dilated, but their tendency is to promote those views of life which are favourable to virtue. This volume includes the Landlady's Tale, the Friend's Tale, and the Wife's Tale; which display ingenuity, are calculated to interest the heart, and from each of which an useful and appropriate moral may be deduced.
