Jessica Mandeville [sic]; or, the Woman of Fortitude. By Miriam Maldin [sic]. 5 Vols. Price 17s.6d.
Jessica Mandeville is on the approved model of the great majority of heroines who have appeared within the last twenty or thirty years. - In beauty, elegance, and taste, she is pre-eminent: she experiences all the vicissitudes of fortune; and after miseries such as only sister heroines have endured, is finally admitted to the participation of beatific felicity. The morality of this work is unexceptionable; and whatever interest it may possess, is decidedly in the cause of virtue. [excerpt from review of many works]
