Art. V. The Hungarian Brothers. By Miss Anna Maria Porter. In Three Volumes, 12mo. about 800 pages.
The scene of this novel is laid principally in Germany; and the heroes are the orphan sons of a Hungarian nobleman, who, on account of the involved state of their paternal possessions, are obliged to seek an honourable subsistence as officers in the army of Austria. In the invention of the incidents, and in the management and general conduct of the tale in which their characters are delineated, or developed, the fair authors has displayed very considerable ingenuity, and an intimate acquaintance with those cords of the heart, which can be touched with the liveliest interest and pleasure. The 'Hungarian Brothers' of this lady make their appearance before the British public as no unworthy companions to the noble and admired 'Thaddeus' of her sister. [complete]
