The Convict; or Navy Lieutenant. By Mrs. Parsons. Lane and Co.
This is an amusing and interesting novel. The character of an English seaman is presented with glowing colours, and the whole story is embellished with much pleasing variety. We must, nevertheless, in justice, give our opinion that the outline is too roughly sketched; the language is altogether too coarse for that of a naval officer, who, however rough in manners, has generally the advantage of a decent education. The novel is pleasing on the whole, and one of the best of this indefatigable writer's productions. [complete]
