Albert; or, the Wilds of Strathnavern. By Elizabeth Helme. 4 Vols. 12mo. 14s. Boards. Low. 1799.
This novel contains little originality or strength of character; but it is amusing in its story, and respectable for the propriety of moral sentiment. Many false notions of honour are properly exposed, and the vices of dissipation are painted with a truth of colouring that confers equal credit on the intentions and the abilities of the authoress.
