| Summary | "Six Letters From the Colonies" by R. C. Seaton is a collection of travel letters written in the late 19th century. The work captures the author's experiences and observations from his travels in Australia, providing insights into the cultures, landscapes, and politics of the time. Seaton offers a narrative steeped in personal reflection, as well as commentary on colonial life. The beginning of this work introduces readers to the author's voyage aboard the sailing ship Hampshire as he embarks on a journey to Australia. Seaton vividly describes the differences between sailing ships and steamers, emphasizing the romance of sailing and the camaraderie that develops among passengers during such a lengthy voyage. As he details his encounters with fellow travelers and the challenges faced at sea, the opening sets the stage for his subsequent reflections on life in various Australian colonies, painting a rich backdrop of 19th-century maritime travel and the allure of distant lands.
