REVELATIONS OF PORTUGAL ; WITH A GLANCE AT
THE PRESENT STATE OF SPAIN. Br Mn. HUGHES.—AT
the present moment when our attention is turned to the
insurrectionary movements now taking place in Portugal,
these volumes will be found of considerable value, as they
supply information on which we may rely with confidence.
Mr. Hughes is now there, and has taken infinite pains to
render himself conversant with the subject, by searching out
facts with the greatest diligence, and sparing no efforts while
engaged in the undertaking he had in hand for facilitating
its object. Mr. Hughes seems to have been placed in a
position whence he could command various sources of infor-
mation, and renders himself an fait to the private manceu-
vrings and machinations by which the marriage of the Queen
Isabel with her cousin was brought about. There is much
in these volumes which show the author to be possessed of
considerable powers of observation. We have derived con-
Isiderable pleasure from the perusal of the work, and strongly
recommend it to our readers, as one likely to afford them much
amusement and instruction.— Sunday Times.
