Londres. 1811. OF the two first publications in this list of books which have called our attention to the present subject, the value is in an inverse proportion to the bulk. The quarto is a paltry work, compiled with little knowledge, and less judgment: the pamphlet is the production of an able and philosophic mind, reasoning temperately and with the best intentions upon an evil which it has felt and which it thoroughly understands. The History' will do harm rather than good, because the manufacturer of it has indiscriminately heaped together truth and falsehood. The excellent letter of Mr. Blanco White, (for his it appears to be in the valuable journal where it was first published,) will afford some curious and important information for our purpose: so will the narrative of Mr. Hippolyto da Costa, whom we believe to be the editor of the Correio Braziliense, a Portugueze Journal published (like the Español) in London, the principles and opinions of which are most honourable to himself, and might be most useful to his prince and his country. We live at the commencement of an era, more distinctly marked by the great and immediate revolutions with which it has been ushered in, than any other in the annals of the world. No precise line of demarkation can be traced through the twilight boundaries of ancient and modern history; but the outline which separates this new era from that which has ended within our own remembrance, is strongly VOL.
