These volumes form a delightful pendant to the "Naval Sketch
Book." There are some excellent descriptions of the various cam.
paigus in which the author has served. Like his predecessor, he
has mingled with his anecdotes a due proportion of graver mat.
ter, which will tend to make the book useful, as well as amusing,
to military men. He, however, frequently indulges his richly hu
morous talent, in which he combines very considerable powers of
observation, with a high relish for the ludicrous.

These volumes form a delightful pendant to the "Naval Sketch

paigns in which the author has served. Like his predecessor, he
has mingled with his anecdotes a due proportion of graver mat-
ter, which will tend to make the book useful, as well as amusing,
morous talent, in which he combines very considerable powers of
to military men. He, however, frequently indulges his richly hu-
observation, with a high relish for the ludicrous.

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

Portugal Illustrated. By the Rev. W. M.
Kinsey, B.D. Fellow of Trinity College,
Oxford, &c. Royal 8vo. pp. 500. London,
1828.
THE title-page is quaintly enough devoid of a
publisher's name, though, from the advertise-
ments, we perceive that this office belongs to the
respectable house of Treuttel, Würtz, and Co.;
no bad passport for a book into decent society.
Portugal, however, possessing at this period as
much of public interest as Portugal can possess,
the volume comes forth very opportunely under
any circumstances; and the reverend author's
illustrations are likely to meet with as much,
or more, attention than their intrinsic qua-
lities would otherwise command.

Mr. Kinsey visited Portugal for a few months last year, landed at Lisbon, stayed some time in the capital, and afterwards made a tour, which included Cintra, Porto, Vianna, the Minho, Valença, Braga, Amarante, the Douro, Lamego, Aveiro, Coimbra, the Mondego, Leiria, Mafra, &c. &c. Upon these places his original remarks are more scanty than might have been wished, since one note of a traveller's own observation is worth pages of extracts from preceding writers. But Mr. Kinsey far too frequently quotes Link (an accurate German), and Costegan, and Murphy, and Colonel Jones, and Mrs. Baillie, and a cento This smells rather strongly of the mus nasof other authors; and favours us with so small citur; and we are not inclined by it to pardon a spice of novelty, that his volume is in many the blemishes in the writer's language.
