" Tancred is a brilliant book, abounding in adventure and enter-
t ailment, rich in descriptions and lively touches of character. It
bears the stamp, moreover, of individuality. It has entertained us
more than either Coningsby or Sybil—and, we think, may stand
higher in public favour. It is. unquestionably, the most brilliant and
urprisinT novel of the season."—A thenseum.
