Art. 18. The Widow, or a Picture of Modern Times, a Novel, in a series of Letters, in Two Volumes. By Mrs M Robinson, Author of Poems, Vancenza, &c. &c.
If this be a picture of modern times, the times are bad indeed! - Mrs Robinson's is a sprightly, entertaining, and interesting pen. - We can commend this novel for its good writing and real merit. - We think some of the characters rather too highly drawn, and there is an inconsistency in supposing Mr Howard, the travelling tutor of a nobleman, and yet at his death, without any apparent cause, able to leave the heroine of the tale a fortune adequate to the rendering her a suitable wife for Lord Allford.
