Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3
It is impossible, however, for as to select any thing that could give our readers even a vague idea of the interest, both serious and comic, that is produced by this original character, without quoting more of the story than we can now make room for. We cannot leave it, however, without making our acknowledgments to Miss Edgeworth for the handsome way in which she has treated our country, and for the judgment as well as liberality she has shown in the character of Mr. Macleod, the proud, sagacious, friendly, and reserved agent of her hero. There is infinite merit and powers of observation even in her short sketch of his exterior.
