Rank and Talent; A Novel, Vol. 3 (of 3)
Scargill, William Pitt
England -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Fiction
“Viewing it as a work of information on a most interesting
subject presented in a very agreeable form, we recommend
its perusal to all persons of leisure. The religious world
especially ought to congratulate themselves on its appearance:
they are usually debarred from the pleasure of reading works
of imagination--here is one which might be preached from the
pulpit; it is a “sacred performance,” and as legitimate in a
church, as a piece of Handel or Horsley. It may throw light
upon the Scriptures; it may even make the searching of them a
lighter task; while the most scrupulous reader cannot condemn the
author for having rashly or profanely approached subjects which
he might deem could not be handled without impiety in a work of
fiction.”--_Spectator._

“The incidents of Irish history, and the character, notions,
feelings, and habits, engendered by the unprecedented situation
of the people, combine to form a source of interest as fertile
and as various as that from which the great Novelist of the North
has created his Scotch historical Romances.”--_Morning Chron._

romance and excitation.”--_Literary Chronicle._
