Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and the treachery of his friend. The situations are artless and affecting, the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte, if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. Price 75 cents.
