Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 1 of 3
I had been delicate from infancy - and the enervating effects of an unhealthy climate obliged me to retire upon half-pay, and quit Ceylon for England, to try if native air would restore a shattered constitution. I came to London for medical advice; and while my physician was anxious that I should continue immediately under his eye, he recommended me, \for amusement and exercise, to make frequent excursions around the British capital.
