Note 1 — PERCY.
Reading edition
The feuds of the rival houses of Percy and of Douglas have furnished materials for this melancholy tale, in which Mrs. More1 has embodied many judicious sentiments and excellent passages, producing a forcible lesson to parental tyranny. The victim of her husband's unreasonable jealousy, Elwina's virtuous conflict is pathetic and interesting; while Percy's sufferings, and the vain regret of Earl Raby, excite and increase our sympathy.
