I was not forced into the undertaking, nor was it very apparent that the necessities of our times demanded it. I may be permitted to state, that on going to America, nothing was more alien from my pur pose than to write upon that country. My object was to enjoy a good holiday and recuperate from the labour and anxiety of a calling, for which I am, perhaps, better suited than a writer on American institutions. Asa matter of fact, I had hardly a note for reference, while these sketches were appearing serially. Notwithstanding, I hold myself responsible for every statement here made.
