Sherwood Forest
    (Review / Sherwood Forest: or, Northern Adventures; a Novel, by Elizabeth Sarah Villa-Real Gooch)
  Imperial Review / JAS, 1804
  vol. 2 (1804): 304.
 
Sherwood Forest; or Northern Adventurer. 3 vols. By Mrs Villa-Real Gooch. Price 12s. boards.

Little originality of combination or design, appears in this performance. We are introduced to several young ladies and gentlemen, in whom we are at a loss to distinguish either hero or heroine; in due time, some die and some marry; and we arrive at the joyful finish, 'a consummation of the author's labour and our own' - devoutly to be wished.
