From these materials a story is formed, full of ingenious contrivance, interesting events,' &c. - British Critic. [100]
'The historical and philosophical traits are properly introduced as a relief to the languid parts of the story.' - European Magazine.
'Our commendation of this work is the more full and unreserved, in consequence of the excellence of its precepts and the purity of its moral.' - Monthly Mirror.
'This work is much interspersed with historical facts, some of which, to novel-readers, will be thought tedious; nor can we pass any eulogy on the moral tendencies of the present publication. With young minds, the perusal is more likely to be productive of mischief than of benefit.' - Critical Review.
