NARRATIVE- of the EXPEDITION to PORTUGAL,
under the orders of his Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro, Duke of
Bragauza. By G. LLOYD IlonGEs, EA. late Colonel in the
Service of her most faithful Majesty the Queen of Portugal.
"Colonel Hodges, with that sensitiveness to fame, acid to that
good opiiiion of the country and of his brother-otlicer s, would
have (as he states) immediately on. his return published his vin-
dication, but for fear of injuring the cause he laid so gallantly
fought for. His motives fur the- delay were equally honourable
and delicate. The work itself, we have every reason to believe,
is the strict truth."—Times, July 16.

"Replete with amusing matter, and written in a dashing
soidier4ike style."—Age, July 7.
"No person could be enabled, by disposition and circum
stances, to afford a clearer view of the contest in Portugal than
the author of these volumes."—Literary Gazette.
"A pleasant, an honest, and unaffected narrative."—Athenceu Tit
"As the production of an avowed partisan, the volumes dis-
play infinitely more candour, liberality, and even generosity,
than could reasonably have been anticipated. They present
clear and simple statements of facts, expose much petty in-
trigue. furnish many personal and characteristic sketches, and
abound with incidental description and anecdote."—Court Jour-
nal, July 20.
"This is a very entertaining, and, at the present crisis, a very
interesting work."—Halifa.v Guardian, July 26.
'-rtinchhas been said of Pedro within the last three or four
years, but we shall no where gain a better insight into his cha-
racter than in these pages of Colonel ilodgcs."—Speciator,
July 17.

"We recommend every bode who is interested in the subje,.t
to peruse the Narrative. With a good taste that is creditable
to his character, Cohlie( Hodges suspended the publication
during the period that fortune seemed to have set in against the
Queen ; but now that the fate of arms appears to have declared
in her favour, his motives for suppression no longer exist."—.
Atlas, July 28.
"As a continuous acciunt of events which have led to the
present auspicious position of affairs, awl which must form a
very important portion of the history of Portugal, the work of
Col;.nel Hodges will be found mostvaluable; and from the
nature of the details of which it is composed, and the style in
which it is written, it cannot fail to be tend with gieat in-

OLD BAILEY EXPERIENCE. By the Author of "The
Schoolmaster's Experienc e in Newgate."
The following Critiques appeared among the notices of
Fraser's Magazine, during the time that the Schoolinaver'3
Series were in the course of publication in that Periodical :
" Fraser, of this month, appears to us to outstrip all his con-
temporaries. In support of our opinion we need only refer to
'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate,' a most able ex-
position of the abuses in the administration of the criminal
law."—Morning Herald.
"In Fraser's Magazine for July, there is an article under the
title of 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate,' the second
of a series, which lays bare the shocking injustice towards the
poor in our criminal courts in a masterly manner."—Aforni„9
Chronicle.
"'The Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is again at the
head of the very ablest papers in the number.'—True Sun.
"A most important exposure, evidently the work of a sensible
man, thoroughly acquainted with the workings of our vicious
system in all their details, and having accurate ideas of the
necessary improvements."—Examiner.
"The third- paper on 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in New.
gate' contains such important matter as must arrest the atten.
tion of those in authority."—Derbplare Courier and Chesterfield
Gazette.

" Fraser's Magazine for August is replete with much interest-
ing matter. We have been much struck whit a thiper, v, inch
has been continued in several numbers, on the criminal juris-
prudence of the country, and entitled the Schoolmaster in
Newgate."—Pt mouth herald.
"We are glad to find the Schoolmaster' is to be continued,
for it lays open such au hitherto unknown field of observation—
it places the condition of Newgate and the conduct of the judges
in so new a light, and yet so evidently correct, that every law-
man in the kingdom, be he attorney, conveyancer, especial
pleader, or whatever else, will benefit from its perusal; and
w►ll be glad after that perusal to use his influence to procure a
change in the practice of those who preside at the criminal
courts of the criminal sessions in the metropolis. The cause
and continual increase in London of thieves is distinctly pointed
out, the manner and accuracy of which is it impossible to dis-
pute."
"But the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is the
article of articles, for utility and deep interest, among all the
magazines of the month."—Gloucester Journal.

"The Regina, of July, exhibits many beauties, and some good
intentions, which atone fur her political sins—the errors of ultra-
Toryism. Few periodicals have so rapidly progressed, or have
been so firmly fixed in public estimation, in the same given time,
as Fraser's Magazine. The boldness, vigour, and originality of
its political papers, and the freshness and playful humour of its
lighter articles, render this monthly visitor generally interesting.
A continuation of 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate'
is a production of the deepest interest; it is a distressing deve-
lopment of the mat-administration and anomalous working of
our criminal code, as proved by the proceedings at the Old
Bailey. The writer appears accurately conversant with the
operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a body
of evidence, which ought to arrest the immediate attention of
those who devote their talents and influence to reform existing
abuses."—Monmuuth Merlin.

--
" There are many other papers in Fruci's Magazine that de-
serve comment, but we have neither space nor time for the task,
especially as we intend to draw largely upon 'the Schoolmaster's
Experience.' I'he public are deeply indebted to this writer far
his able series of papers." —iirecki lE.Tot;h.
"Fraser has rent forth a shrewd number this month; it con-
tains one excellent paper, ' the Schoolmaster's Experience in
Newgate,' which is entitled to our praise with respect to its hu-
manity, talent, and interest."—Dorche4ter and Taunton Journal,

" Amongst the many interesting articles in this month's Maga-
zine, a paper entitled 'the Schoounaster's Experience in New-
gate' merits every attention • it should be readly every one who
feels an interest in the jurisprudence of his country.' —Devon-
Fort and Stuneltouse Herald.
"The Schoolmaster's Experience,' which graces the pages
of Fraser's Magazine, is a most admirable exposure of the man-
ner in which justice, or rather injustice, is administered at the
Old Bailey session; it cannot fill to a‘.vaken attention to the
subject, and to be productive of mach good."--Blackbarn,
Gazette.

resting of which is entitled 'Barbi:does,' aid relates chiefly to
