A collection of letters supposed lo be written by passengers travelling 

 from England to America in the steamship " Great Western." The 

 letters, which are life-like portraits of individuals, and their manners, 

 style, feelings and expressions, contain not only comments on life at sea, 

 but also the writers' reflections upon the countries they are leaving and 

 going to. The best written letter is, perhaps, the " Journal of an 

 Actress."
