ROBERT ALAN MOWBRA Y STEVENSON
Our JrieridsMp was not only founded before we were horn hy a
community of blood, but is in itself near as old as my life. It
began with our early ages, and, like a history, has been con-
tinued to the present time. Although we may not be old in the
world, we are old to each other, having so long been intimates.
We are now widely separated, a great sea and continent inter-
vening ; but memory, like care, mounts into iron ships and rides
post behind the horseman. Neither time nor space nor enmity
can conquer old qff'ection ; and as I dedicate these sketches, it is
not to you only, but to all in the old country, that I send the
greeting of my heart.
