Art. 25. - The Pilgrim of the Cross, or the Chronicles of Christabelle de Mowbray, an ancient Legend, in four Volumes. By Elizabeth Helme. Small 8vo. Longman. 1805.

This novel is full of incidents, which amused our attention through a pilgrimage of four volumes. The events are fixed in the romantic period of the Crusades, and the whole work may very properly be recommended to be taken in its turn by those who go through a regular course of novel-reading. Its inscription, by permission, to the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, is a sufficient indication that the principles which it contains are recommendatory of virtue. [complete]
