"The work is doubtless a literary curiosity. It contains passages which might startle us into a momentary belief in its authenticity, but is so encumbered with what we know must be spurious, that considerable industry and resolution are required to disengage the particles of truth from the mass of doubtful matter. We must leave it to our readers, if they be inclined, to attempt this . . . there are passages and touches of beauty which will repay their trouble." -The Eclectic Review
