Notes |
['Grieder p.67 cite: [the commentator] cannot help observing, that in all her works we scarcely meet with the character of a real man and woman, as they come from the hands of nature, with passions to influence and reason to direct them […] Every feeling they have puts their frame in agitation, harrows up their soules, and for some time deprives them of the use of reason [..] we cannot recommend the perusal of such novels to persons of either sex who have the misfortune to be of a solitary cast, or to have weak nerves [..]']
