"A clever little burlesque on all the favourite hobbies, whether of men of science or taste, of amateurs or professors, of sciolists or philosophers, of perfectionists or deteriorationists. To all curious or even casual observers of the solemn and important whims of the day, it will afford a pleasant evening's amusement: and we recommend it as a very harmless care-killer to a numerous class of readers."—Monthly Review.

"We have already had occasion to speak favourably of this writer's late performance, 'Headlong Hall,' and we may announce 'Melincourt,' as a work of equal pleasantry and more argument. For quaint burlesque, for characteristic satire, and for ingenious discussion, it will stand high among the lighter productions of the present day"—Month. Rev.

"We cannot offer kinder advice to the reader than by recommending him to read this very entertaining novel: the gloomy philosophy and metaphysical poetry of the present day are exposed with so humorous and masterly a hand, and the characters of those who, as Hadibras has it,
Of their own misery and want,'
are painted with so much wit and spirit, that he must be splenetic indeed whose muscles will not relax at the drollery of the exhibition."—Month. Rev.
"This is a very elegant little work. It is a Grecian fairy tale, which required considerable knowledge of erotic antiquity in the author, and no ordinary command of the lighter graces of versification,. All the charms of the story would be destroyed by any thing like an abstract of its brief but ingenious contents; and for the same reason, viz. the fear of diminishing the pleasure of the reader and the just attractiveness of the poem, we shall abstain from any quotation which would reveal the main incidents of Rhododaphne."—Month.
