The narrative of the novel is pleasing and interesting, the style of these letters is sprightly and animated, bidding defiance to the foul fiend Ennui.”

11. The HISTORY of RINALDO RINALDINI, Captain of Banditti; translated from the German of Vulvius, by J. Hinckley, Esq. In 3 vols. Price 10s. 6d. boards.
“This celebrated history had an unexampled sale throughout Germany, where many large editions were printed in the course of a few months. The Adventures of Rinaldini, a real character, who lived in the early part of the present century, are truly surprising, and almost incredible. The author possesses all the fire and spirit of the German writers, and if we are now and then struck with improbabilities, bordering on fiction, we are often delighted with deeds of heroism and courage, not unworthy of a greater name than this daring Captain of Banditti.”
Monthly Mirror, Nov. 1800.
12. RIMUALDO; or, the Castle of Badajos; a Romance, by W. H. Ireland, 4 vols. 14s. boards.
“This is by no means an uninteresting story, nor ill told; and if its author, quitting the path of literary deception, can content himself with the humble fame of a novel writer, his invention and industry will entitle him to a respectable rank.”
European Mag. Oct. 1800.
