Written 1826.

THIS work, though making its first appearance in England, and in the English language, purports to be the narrative of Robert Guillemard, a "French Serjeant," who was an actor in many of the great military operations, which have convulsed Europe since beginning of the nineteenth century. If a genuine account of the adventures of a French soldier, it seems rather strange, that he should present it to the world in a foreign country and foreign language, unless indeed the English booksellers are more liberal than the French. However this may be, the Serjeant's story seems to be considered in England and in this country, as in the main to be depended on. The work is similar in character to the "Adventures of a Young Rifleman," of which we lately took notice, but surpasses it in interest. The Serjeant is a man of more understanding than the Rifleman, and surveyed the great events which were taking place around him, with more accuracy and more intelligence. He began his military life in 1805, being forced into the army by the conscription. "The newspapers,' he remarks, “spoke of nothing but the emulation of the young conscripts, who, on all sides, took arms of their own accord, presented themselves before they were called, and covered every road on their march to join the different corps to which they were appointed. I confess, that I was at first rather ashamed at finding myself so cold amidst the general enthusiasm, the extent of which,

however, I was soon enabled to appreciate, as I afterwards found the means of appreciating so many other kinds of zeal with which an army and a nation become inflamed, without even thinking of the matter."

He was soon embarked on board the French fleet, designed to assist in the invasion of England, was present in the battle of Trafalgar, and supposed to be the man who gave Nelson his deathwound. He accompanied admiral Villeneuve, who was taken prisoner in the action, and allowed to return to France on parole; witnessed his death at Rennes, which, according to this writer's account, was the work of assassins, though the current report at the time 'was, that he had killed himself. After this our Serjeant served in Italy, Germany, and Spain. In Spain he was taken prisoner, and sent, with many other prisoners, to the island of Cabrera, near Majorca. The island afforded them nothing but wood, and they subsisted on supplies sent them almost daily. Their habits and mode of life on this desolate spot, are set forth with much spirit. The very day after Guillemard's arrival, he was engaged as second in a duel, of which he had been the occasion, by taking lodgings, according to a friend's invitation, in a hut built to hold four persons, who were grievously incommoded by his admission. The roof was little better than a sieve, and the rain, which fell in torrents during the night, did not contribute to pacify his comrades' grumblings. One of the tenants came to high words with our hero's friend for introducing a stranger among them, and it was agreed, that the quarrel should be settled the next day.

"The sun had just risen, when Ricaud roused me to request I would act as his second. I was not in one of those beds from which one rises with reluctance Our dressing arrangements were soon made, and as we had entered our hut the evening before head-foremost, and were unable to turn ourselves, we crawled out one after another, feet-foremost, resting upon our heels and elbows. "After drinking some rum with Ricaud and his antagonist, I tried to bring about a reconciliation; but they told me that it was of no use, and both declared that the thing must be done. I was too well acquainted with military customs to make any attempt at combating a reason so peremptory. Besides I had no great fears of the result of the duel; I presumed that the shadow of a sword, sabre, or pistol, was not to be found in the whole island; and Ï fancied that these worthies were going to have a game at fisticuffs, in imitation of the ancient Romans, to whom they already bore so much resemblance. But I soon saw that a determined mind will always find means to accomplish its purposes. Before setting out,
