" This is a valuable work, and well de37‘es a place in every
medical library."—From the London Medical and Surgical
Journal.
"We have perused this volume wi gratification, and look
forward with anticipation of pleasure for the second : it re-
dounds no little credit to the author, who has investigated the
numberless theories with which physiologists have confused
this subject. His ideas .on many points are original, as also
his views of the nature and treatment of inflammations, which
appear based on the sound principles of Pathology."—London
eterinary Examiner.

NARRATIVE of the EXPEDI'T'ION to PORTUGAL,
under the orders of his Imperial Maj .:ty Dom Pedro, Duke of
Braganza. By G. LLOYD 110DG . Esq. late Colonel in the
V
Service of her most faithful Maje v 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 vin-
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 truth."—Times, July 16.
" Replete with amusing matter, and written in a dashing
soldier-like style."—Aye, 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."—Athencenm
" As the production of an avowed partisan, the volumes dis-
play infinitely mote 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. '—Halifax Guardian, July 26.
"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 than in these pages of Colonel Hodges."—Spectator,
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 against the
Queen; bur 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 from the
nature of the details of which it is composed, and the style in
which it is written, it cannot fail to be read with great in-
terest."—Naval and Military Gazette, July 27.
"The veturaes before us evidence au intelligent and reflecting
mind, a generous disposition, accompanied by no mean talent for
observation and composition."—United Service Gazette, July `27.

OLD BAILEY EXPERIENCE. By the Author of "The
Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate."
The foll9wing Critiques appeared among the notices of
Fraser's Magazine, during. the time that the Schoolmaster's
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."—Morning
Chronicle.

"'The Schoolmaster's Experiencb in Newgate' is again at the
head of the very ablest papers in the number."-7'rue 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."—E.caminer.
"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 Schoolmaster in
IsTewgate."—Plynunith 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, conveyancer, especial
pleader, or whatever else, will 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 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 mal-administration and anomalous working of
our elkoinal rode as_pnveo
_l2x the proceedings at the Old
accurately crouversant with the
operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a body
of evidence, which ought to arrest the immediate attention of
those dunk their talents and influence td.refortu
abuses. '—itlinrtouth Merlin.

"There are many other papers in Fraser'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.' rhe public are deeply indebted to this writer for
his able series of papers."— Weekly 'Dispatch.
"Fraser has sent 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."—Dorchester and Taunton Journal.
" Amongst the many interesting articles in this month's Maga-
zine, a paper entitled `the Schoolmaster's Experience in New-
gate' merits every attention: it should be read by every one who
reels an interest in the jurisprudence of his country. —Decon-
port and Stonehouse 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 fail to awaken attention to the
subject, and to be productive of much good."—Blackburn Gazette.

BARBADOES and OTHER POEMS. By M. J. CHAP-
MAN, Esq.
"The author of this little volume enlists our feelings in be-
half of his subjects, inasmuch as he is a native of the island,
whose natural beauties and other distinguishing features he has
presented to us."—Bristol Journal.
"'Barbadoes' occupies nearly half the volume, and being
written by one to whom the scenes are familiar, there is a de-
lightful freshness and vigour in the descriptions, which a stranger
might in vain have hoped to obtain."—Berkshire Chronicle.
"A neat little volume of poems, the longest and most inte-
resting of which is entitled 'Barbadoes,' and relates chiefly to
the scenery, the manners, and the historical incidents of that
island."—Lirerpool Standard.
" Mr. Chapman's versification is easy and harmonious; he
has imagery, force, and pathos at command; and from his local
ktiowled-ge, an eye for the beauties of nature, and a heart to
estimate their value, he has been enabled to sketch many a
glowing scene."—Court Journal.
"Barbadoes has at last got a bard of her own; one who writes
natural and harinonions verse. Mr. Chapman is a West Indian,
and Barbadoes is the burden of his song. He sings with truth
and ease, and with a voice melodious rather than loud."—Atlgen.
"The principal subject of Mr, Chapman's volume, as the title
imports, is l3arhadoes, where the scenery, habits, pursuits, and
employments of one of the most important of the West India
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 western world. Several of the smaller
pieces, too, are very beautiful.—Newcastle Courant. ... •
