: Review of The Miser Married
'I presented my manuscript [of her novel, "The Miser Married"] to Mr. Orme. In two days it was accepted, and I agreed to take half the profits. "Now", said Mr Orme, "I will do you a favour which we seldom do in these cases, you shall see the opinion of our critic on your work." I read it and asked if I might copy it. He instantly put it into the hand of one of the clerks, and gave me the copy, from which I now transcribe the following words. "I am charmed with the Miser Married, which is in a style so wholly new, and to my taste, highly captivating. It will not, perhaps immediately attract popularity - it is so superior to all that is commonly found to please - no romance, no caricature, - no cant [cant underlined]. I must add, no humour - with that it would be a chef d'oeuvre.'

Mrs Brooke :
'I have been going through a course of novels by lady authors, beginning with Mrs Brooke and ending with Miss Austen, who is my especial favourite. I had always wished, not daring to hope, that I might be something like Miss Austen; and, having finished her works, I took to my own, to see if I could find any resemblance. I am not certain that I have read any of mine since the time of their publication; if I have it is so long since that I have forgotten it, and I was surprised to find in the first leaf of The Miser Married the critic's opinion'.
