Excerpt from The Analectic Magazine, Vol. 4: Containing Selections From Foreign Reviews and Magazines, of Such Articles as Are Most Valuable, Curious, or Entertaining
These are the outlines of the story; and out of these materials, neither very original, perhaps, nor very artificially connected, Miss Edgeworth has contrived to produce so many well imagined scenes, so many striking contrasts, and a moral so constantly good, and so pointed in its application, that Patronage, if not amongst the best of her productions, is, at least, not unworthy of her name and genius. Of the characters we shall' now say a few words. The keeping in the whole family of Percy is perfect Caroline and Rosamond, though merely sketches, are beautifully diversified. The keen but repressed feeling and subdued tender ness of the former are well contrasted by the quick and energetic qualities of the latter; and Rosamond's unenvious admiration of, and entire devotion to, her sister, forms a most pleasing and affect ing picture.
