These volumes we strongly recommend to the perusal of novel readers in general. They embrace a pathetic and well digested narrative, wherein the dark side of human nature is but too justly depicted, and we fear many a fair reader in contemplating the character of William, 'will find a moral of her own.'
The opening is simple, and the eye has only to wander over a few pages before the heart must confess an interest. From its commencement to its close, propriety is kept in view, and every page displays an imagination guided by nature, and a mind watchful over the best interests of the rising generation.
Mrs Inchbald was left a widow at a very early period, and should she be induced to change her situation, we have only to wish she may meet with her own Henry.
