"_The following 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 PREFACE.

fuller information than any previous biographer. He is intelligent,
industrious, sympathetic: and the world has in his two volumes larger

boon._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
