The article focuses on social conditions of England. The country at large has a sense of embarrassment and depression, which is brought home more or less to every class in the closely graduated social hierarchy, and the light of Christmas firesides has by no means dispelled the gloom. It is difficult to imagine any combination of adverse circumstances powerful enough to infringe very sensibly upon the appearance of activity and prosperity, social stability and luxury, which English life must always present to a stranger. The article also focuses on Marquis de Mirebeau, who was the eloquent advocate of agriculture at a time when the nobility abandoned its estates and lived at court.
