" Tancred is a brilliant book, abounding in adventure and enter-
tainment, rich in descriptions and "yelp touches of character. It
bears the stamp, moreover, of individuality. It has entertained us
mare than either Coningsby or Sybil—and, we think, may stand
higher in public favour. It is, unquestionably, the most brilliant and
urprising novel •f the season."—Athenaeum.
