The Convict, or Navy Lieutenant, a Novel. By Mrs. Parsons, Author of the miser and his Family, Murray House, the Mysterious Visit &c. 12mo. 4 vols. 1l. Hatchard 1807
This Novel is a combination of Novels, each of which, but that we presume the author's inventive fancy disdained it, might have been easily expanded into two or more volumes. The incidents are not quite within the pale of probability; but the narrative is kept up with much spirit and consistency; and much knowledge of human manners is demonstrated. The catastrophe is very ingeniously brought about, and worked up with much real pathos. [complete]
