This lady, in all her novels, discovers a considerable knowledge of the world, and experience has made her both an accurate and agreeable writer. We do not, without some reserve, commend the general conduct of the story; we think some characters overdrawn, some incidents beyond all probability, and, what is the great fault of most novelists, the dialogues often extended to a most tedious length. Yet we have little scruple in asserting, that these volumes are, on the whole, exceedingly entertaining, and we willingly recommend them as such to our fair readers.
