- Quarterly Review critique of Ormsby's translation
The Quarterly Review in 1886 praised the translation's accuracy but criticized Ormsby's limited interpretation of the novel and Don Quixote's character.
Published only a year after Ormsby's translation was first issued, the 1886 Quarterly Review took him to task for his limited interpretation of the novel and of Don Quixote's character, while praising the accuracy of the translation. No passage states where the review was published, so no occurrence locality is asserted.
