ing letters were written during a residence in England, in the
years 1861 and 1862, and were published in the_ Sydney Morning Herald _on
the arrival of the monthly mails.... On re-perusal, these letters appear
to contain views of English life and impressions of English notabilities
which, as the views and impressions of an Englishman on his return to his
native country after an absence of twenty years, may not be without
interest to the English reader. The writer had opportunities of mixing
with different classes of the British people, and of hearing opinions on
passing events from opposite standpoints of observation._"--_Author's
