14. TRUCKLEBOROUGH HALL; a Satirical Novel. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d.
“This is an extremely piquant and ingenious satire on politicians of all parties and denominations. In its pages, the aristocratical, gentlemanly, twaddling whig; the interested, profligate tory; the democratical declaimer; the pompous, empty man in office; and though last, not least, the surfeited and satisfied high churchman; all figure in their most ludicrous phrases—nor should we omit to mention, that the conceited utilitarian comes in for his share of ridicule; which, though brief, is of a pleasant pungency. Such a book is much to our tastes, as we infinitely prefer laughing at the extravagancies of the world, to bewailing them.”—London Magazine.
