Islands, and Chili. In- 1857 they went to the United 

 States, where, havins visited the Canadian Lakes, he and 

 his fiiend descended the Mississippi from its source, in a 

 bark canoe, to Saint Louis, and, thence making their way 

 to New York, embarked for England, where Mi". Brenchley 

 once more appeared, after an absence of eight years. In 

 1858 and 1859 what may be called a home tour was taken, 

 including Algeria, Morocco, Spain, and Sicily. 



Some literary engagements now caused a pause ; M. 

 Eemy being occupied in writing from his own and Mr. 

 Brenchley's notes an account of their visit to Salt Lake City 

 in 1855. This work, written with great ability — unluckily 

 more philosophical than sensational — and with a critical 

 appreciation of Mormon institutions, by no means too 

 lenient, but perhaps too impartial for the prejudices of 

 ordinary readers, was published in Paris in 1860. The de- 

 scription of tlie journey was preceded by an admirable 

 introduction ' On the Eeligious Movement in the United 

 States,' of remarkable interest and value, and foDowed by 

 a brief but very satis&ctory sketch of Mr. Brenchley's 

 adventures when crossing the Eoeky Mountains. In the 

 following year the travellers came over to this country to 

 superintend an English translation of the work, which, 

 brought out in too expensive a form for a subject not 

 exciting any very great interest, did not secure. the cir- 

 culation it deserved.^
