PREFACE
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. After they were posted in London, they were never seen by the writer until a few days ago, when they were brought under his notice by a search for matter of quite a different character.
On reperusal, 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.
