The desire of shortening the period of my separation from a beloved brother, was the first and strongest motive that induced me to think of accompanying him to the country in which I am now writing, and which he was preparing to Visit for the third time. An eager curiosity, mainly excited by his own publications, greatly increased this desire; and little persuasion on his part was neces sary to draw me to a decision but the idea was no sooner formed than he found numerous arguments in its favour. The opportunities I might enjoy of obtaining an insight' into the mode of life of the higher classes of the ladies in this country, and of seeing many things highly interest ing in themselves, and rendered more so by their being accessible only to a lady, suggested to him the idea that I might both gratify my own curiosity, and collect much information of a novel and interesting nature, which he proposed I should embody in a series of familiar letters to a friend. To encourage me to attempt this latter oh ject, he placed at my disposal a large collection of his own unpublished notes, that I might extract from them.
