One of these two sons, Brassey, a Member of Parliapresumably an inheritor of a share her's wealth, set sail in his yacht cam," on the 1st of July, 1876, for a e around the world. He carried his y with him, wife, children, and servants; ship's company counting up some forty ersons all told. Mrs. Brassey, whom her husband gallantly credits with the project and successful achievement of the voyage, became its historian, and her narrative, first published in the English periodical press, and afterwards in a volume which has proved one of the most popular books of the season, is now reprinted in this country. Mrs. Brassey in no way obtrudes herself upon its pages, but it is impossible not to see that she is a woman of uncommon intellectual powers, strength of will, and delicacy and tact; as well as brave and accomplished. We can well believe all that is implied of her. She can not only organize an expedition, but administer its details; she has skill to take photographs, nerve to be hoisted to the masthead in a bo'son's chair, and courage to land amongst a party of unknown natives on the shores of a South Sea Island. She seems to be a typical English woman of the best type; and in the story of the "Sunbeam's " ruise has given a charming addition to the terature of travel and observation. We have no description of the yacht itself, but we gather from the narrative, from the pictures, and from what is to be read between the lines, that she was a large steamvessel, barkantine rigged, supplied with every ery neatly and appliance for safety and convenience, and most luxuriously fitted and furnished; some of the cosy corners of her cabins having the Given such a vessel, a family party-includsumptuous appearance of a lady's boudoir. ing a baby, a year's time, a bottomless purse, and a free course around the world, and you have all the external conditions of a very good time.
