THE INFIDEL, OR THE FALL OF MEXICO, a Romance,
by the Author of Calavar, in 2 vols. 12mo. Second Edition.
“We have read these volumes through with unwavering interest,—they
evince power of a high order and thorough preparation of the work undertaken.
“They embody the very spirit of the times, in which the story is laid, and
reproduce the men and the scenes as though they were living before our
eyes.”
—New York American.
“We have read Dr. Bird's new romance with very great pleasure, and a
large increase to our previously conceived opinion of his talent. It is a
grand, spirit-stirring work—rich in vigour, interest and excitement; and
one moreover, that will not pass away and be forgotten.”
—New York Com.
Advertiser.
“Those who have not yet had an opportunity of reading the new novel of
the Infidel, by Dr. Bird, may be envied by those who have had the pleasure
of perusing the graphic and spirit-stirring scenes it contains. We have
too little space at our disposal to-day to speak of it at any length, or do
more than recommend it as superior even to Calavar, which is already
stamped with the highest public approbation.”
—Waldie's Library, May 19th,
1825.
