Excerpt from Sketches in Portugal, During the Civil War of 1834: With Observations of the Present State and Future Prospects of Portugal
A passage to the Cape having been offered to Captain Alexander, on board H. M. S. Thalia, he embarked in September last.
Having received only a few days" notice, he was prevented from finishing his Sketches in the manner he had wished, and was under the necessity of requesting another to take charge of them through the press. Having likewise expressed a desire that his intention of adding some "Observations upon the present State and future Prospects of Portugal," might still be fulfilled, this has been attempted; and the writer can only hope that his remarks may not be found altogether uninteresting.
