Leonora

The character of Leonora is, how ever cleverly drawn, but it is impossible and for this reason the book is rather less intolerable to believe that a woman of this Sort would fall a victim to the particular form of passion which is two people of good principle, both on the borders of middle age, do not suddenly fall head over sass in love, almost at first sight. Judged by this perverse and gratuitous study of modern manners, Mr. Bennett is not to be congratulated on abandoning the realm of irresponsible sensationalism in which he has already achieved considerable access.
