Varieties of Vice-Regal Life. By Sir WILLIAM THE Presuntor's brother officers, to whom he could address himself in the confidence that inuch Professional matters, however, form but one class out of the multifarious subjects that fill up the recollections of a career which, in the course of its twenty years' duration, has embraced every variety of vice-regal life,' from the singular little autocracy over Norfolk Island-perhaps the smallest of the British possessions-to the Governor-Generalship of India; and that during a period marked, in each locality, by great social and administrative changes. It is from this variety of matter that the Author would invite his readers to select such topics as may suit their A respective tastes; and he has been induced to hope that even some of the more trivial incidents illustrative of a phase of life which is not a common one, and which has occupations, pleasures, and troubles peculiarly its own, may not be altogether unproductive of amusement. The journals and letters begin with the appointment of the Author to the Lieutenant-Governorship of Van Diemen's Land in 1846, and describe the condition of the colony at a time when the subject of transportation was becoming daily of more pressing importance. His subsequent residence in Continental Australia, as Governor-General of New South Wales, was followed by his appointment as Governor of Madras. On the death of Lord ELGIN, the Author became for two months Governor-General of India. It may be added that these volumes give the impressions and thoughts of the writers at the time when each letter or passage of a journal was written. The Author has abstained, as much as was possible, from all interpolations in the letters and journals, which remain for the most part as originally written, any subsequent recollections or illustrations being inserted in foot-notes or given separately in the text. THE speeches and dispatches contained in are as documents from which the reader may draw the history of the political life of the Author. They are intended to exhibit the views maintained by him from the first on the great national and social questions, some of which have been already settled, while others still remain as subjects of anxious attention to statesmen and to all earnest thinkers. The introduction to the Speeches is designed to show the working of the principles which have respectively guided the great political parties in this country from the beginning of the present century, and the real bearing of the discussions on the affairs of Ireland, the Irish Church, and Irish tenures. In the introduction to the dispatches the Author points out the differences between his circumstances as Foreign Minister and those of the Ministers who preceded and followed him, with the reasons which guided his policy on such difficult questions as those which were involved in the relations of this country with the United States during the great war which ended in the maintenance of the Union. THIS THIS volume consists of a series of letters on the Land Question of Ireland, written at the request of the proprietors of The Times,' and published from time to time in that journal. The first twenty-five letters record the impressions of the condition of the landed classes in Ireland and of their relations with each other, of the state of the country, and of the feelings of the people, formed in the course of a tour of several months, during which the Author visited each of the four provinces of the island and examined what may be called its most typical districts. In the last four letters he reviews briefly the Land System of Ireland as a whole, in detail, as well as those parts of it which seem to require attention, endeavouring to ascertain and point out its causes; considering the principles of certain schemes for reforming it; indicating the means by which he ventures to think that important end may be best attained; and, in a word, seeking to arrive at sound general conclusions. It is hardly necessary to say that the Author had no instructions from The Times,' except to report the truth; and he has endeavoured to see facts as they are, and to form a sound opinion upon them. He visited several of the Midland, Southern, and Western Counties, and ended his tour by a visit to the North; and what he has written records accurately his experiences and reflections on them. Whenever he came into a district, he tried to gain information from persons of all classes-country gentlemen, land agents, merchants, bankers, local functionaries, ecclesiastics, tenant-farmers, and agricultural labourers; he sifted and examined what he had collected; and having balanced the evidence as well as he could, he has set down the conclusions in these letters. |
