This article focuses on the book "Pictures of the Past," by Francis H. Grundy. The author was a civil engineer in the days of the first railroad mania, and from that time to his latest expedition into the Australian bush his career has been full of incident and adventure. Before he left England he had the good fortune to meet several distinguished persons, and his reminiscences of these make the chief literary interest of his book. While still in his teens he became the intimate friend of Patrick Branwell Brontë.
