The Jesuit; or, the History of Anthony Babington, Esq. an historical Novel, by the Authoress of More Ghosts, &c. 3 Vols. 12mo. 10s. 6d. Boards. Dilly. 1799.
Here we have a tale of more than common merit. Of those which, since the Ghost Seer, have hinged upon supernatural illusions, this is perhaps the only one that does not disgust by the impossibility of its incidents. Some passages are deeply pathetic. To the death of Sheffield we object, as an act of unnecessary and improbable cruelty, which indeed could not have been perpetrated. [complete]
