NARRATIVE of the EXPEDITION to PORTUGAL,
under the orders of his Imperial Majesty Dons Pedro, Duke of
Braganza. By G. Lunn HonoEs, Esq: late Colonel in the
Service of her most faithful Majesty the Queen of Portugal,
"Colonel Hodges, with that sensitiveness to fame, and to that
good opinion of the country and Of his brother-officer s, would
have (as he states) immediately on his return published his yin,
dication, but for fear of injuring the cause he had so gallantly
fought for. -His motives for the delay were equally honourable
and delicate. The work itself, we have every reason to believe,
is the strict trot h.'.'— Time 6 Jelly 16.

"Replete with amusing matter, and written in a dashing
soldier-like style."—Age, ialy 7.
"No person could be enabled, by disposition and circtun
stances, to afford a clearer view of the contest in Portugal than
the author of these volumes."—Liferary Gazette.
"A pleasant, an honest, and unaffected narrative."

. .
`f As. th.e production of au 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 Aneedote,"—Court Jour-.
nal, July 20.
"This is a very entertaining, and, at the present crisis, a very
interesting work."—lialifai Guardian, July 2G.
"Much has been said of Pedro within the last three or four
years; but we shall no where gain a better insight into his cha-
racter thad in these pages of Colonel Hodges."—Spectatort
July 13.
"We recommend every body who is interested in the subject
to peruse the Narrative. With a good-taste that is creditable
to his character, Colonel Hodges suspended the publication
during the period that fortune seemed to have set in again::, this
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 account of events which have led to the
present auspicious position of affairs, and which must form a
very important portion of the history Of Portugal, the work of
Colonel Hodges will be found most valuable; and frora the
nature of the details of which it is composed, and the style in
which it is written, it cannot fail to. be lead with great in-
terest."—Naval and Military Gazette, July 27.
"The volumes before ifs evidence an intelligent and reflecting
mind, a generous disposition, accompanied by no mean talent for
observation and composition,"—United .service Gazette, of 27th

OLD BAIL E 7:.PE 11 lENC E the Auta„,, of '"Tfza
Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate."
The following Critiques appeared among the notices of
Fraser's Magazine, during the time that the Schoolmaster's
Series were in the course of pttblication in that Periodical:—
" Fraser, of this mouth, appears to us,to outstrip all his con-
temporaries. In support, o 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 towdrds the
poor in our criminal courts in a masterly manner."—Morains
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 alt their details, and having accurate ideas of the
necessary improvements."—Eraminer.
"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."—Derbyshire Courier and Chesterfield -
Gazette.
" Fraser's Magazine for August is replete with much interest-
ing matter. We have been much struck with a paper, which
has been continued in several numbers, on the criminal juris-
prudence of the country, and entitled the Schoolinasts.r in
Newgirte."—Plysnouth Herald.
"We are glad to find 'the Schoolmaster' is to be continued,
for it lays open such an 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, cenve4ancer, especial
pleader, or whatever else, wilt benefit from its perusal; and -
will 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 for her political sins---the errors of ultras
Toryism. Few periodicals have Eia rapidly progressed, or have
been so firmly fixed in public estimation, in thz, 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 Newgat
is a production of the deepest interest; it'is a distressing dev;,--
lopment of the mal-administration and anomalous workiriof
our criminal code, as proved by the proceedings at the 014
Bailey. The writer appears accurately conversant with the
operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a bud
of evidence which ought to arrest the Immediate attention C..'
those who devote their talents and influence to reform exis,ts.e
P abuses."—Monnivath Merlin.
"There arc many other papers in Fraser's Magazine that !!,:•
serve comment, but we have neither space nor time for the task,
especially as we intend to draw largely Upon tthe.Schoolinaste,
Experience.' The public are deeply indebted to this writer for
s his able series of papers."—Weeld bisputat.
"Fraser has sent forth a shrewd number this month; it con
, tains one excellent paper, 'the Schoolmaster's Experience is
Newgate,' which is entitled to our praise with respect to its hu•
mauity, talent, and interest."—Doieliester and Taunton Journal.
" Amongst the many interesting articles in this mouth's M
zinc, a paper entitled. the Schootmaster's Experience in N9w:
gate' merits every attention : it should be readlay every :se.:
feels an interest in the jerisprudence of his country.' -,tl; -
port and Statehouse Herald. -
" 'The Schoolmaster's Experience,' which graces the pAgr3
of Eraser's Magazine, is a most admirable expusuro of t !-e. man-
ner in Which justice, or rather injustice, is administered at Os?.
Old Bailel session; it cannot ''.::t to awaken attention to the
subjet, and to be productive of much good,"--Blechin;rii

BARBADOES and OTHER POEMS. By M. J. Ct-r.an-
MAN, Esq.
"The author of this little volume enlists our feelings
half'of his subjects, inasmuch as lie is a native of tir:
rvhose natural beauties and other distinguishing.fcatrtre% he has
presented to us."—.4riste/ Jyarnal.
"'Barbadoes' occupies nearly half the volume, and heiq
written by one to whom the scenes 'are familiar, there is !.
lightful freshness and vigour in the descriptions, which a
might.iu vain have hoped to obtain."-11erkiiiire Chronicle.
"A .neat little volume of poems, the longest and u'gt into-
resting of which is untitled Barbadoes,' and relates aliiefiY to
the scenery, the manners, and the historical lucid:llls of that
island."--Liverpool pendant.
" Mr. Chapman's versification $ easy and liarinoniou::; 1).!
has imagery, force, and pathos at command; ar,1.1.6)ra local
knowledge, an eye for the beauties of natur, a heart to
estimate their value, be has been enabled to sketch many a
glowing scene."—atr! Journal.
"Barbadoes has at last got a.bard of her own; one who writer
natural and barulquiwis verse. Mr. Chapman.is a West ludian,
and tlarhadctes is the burden of his song. He sings with: truth
and pass), ktid ran a voice melodious rather than loud."—
, itiltemrant.
"The principal subject of Mr. Chapman's volume, as the title
imports, is Barbadoes, where.the scenery, habits, pursuits, and
employments of one of the most important of the West lodia
islands, (the author's birth-place,) are depicted with consider-
able ability, and, as we are assured, with a scrupulous adhesion
to the literal truth. Besides poetical talent, this publication
bears the impress of refined taste and extensive information
connected with the weisteru world. Several of the smaller
pieces, too, are very beautiful.—Netecastis Courant.
