Contemporary Reviews of this Volume
I was not able to find reviews in the London papers for Mary Julia Young's collection. I did find four notices in the classified ads of the Morning Chronicle, the Morning Herald, the Times, and True Briton announcing the publication of her works. The Morning Chronicle and the Morning Herald were both announcing her novel, The East Indian, while the Times and True Briton announced the publication of this work stating simply;
