CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS.

CHAPTER I.

VOYAGE FROM BOMBAY TO ENGLAND.

On the twenty-ninth of March the Buckinghamshire was announced to leave, and as the time drew near, we began to feel uneasy. The idea of leaving our homes, the happy island which gave us birth, the sacrifice of comforts we were about to make, and three years' absence from our wives, our parents, and relatives, made us very melancholy; however hope animated us and we reflected with what pleasure we should see them all on our return, and moreover what advantage our countrymen in Bombay would derive by our being acquainted with the resources of a country on which their life and property depended, and we hoped that it would be paving the way for them, and that by our communicating to them what we had seen of England, and her inhabitants, they would be actuated to visit her, and that by the frequent interchange of ideas and feelings much benefit would result to both.
