Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 25: For June 1815-October 1815 A work, of which all this can be said with justice, cannot be without great merit; and ought not, it may be presumed, to be without eat popularity. Justice, however, has something more to say 0 it: and we are not quite sure either that it will be very popular, or that it deserves to be so. It is too monotonous too wordy - and too uniformly stately, tragical, and emphatic. Above all, it is now and then a little absurd - and pretty fre quently not a little afl'ected.
