Ewing Ritchie is a collection of essays written in the mid-19th century that offers a lively exploration of various locations and aspects of London life. The text presents keen observations on political institutions, public spaces, and society at large, marked by a blend of wit and sharp commentary. Ritchie aims to capture both the grandeur and the intricacies of London, often intertwining humor with social critique. The opening of the work introduces readers to the author's perspective on the House of Commons, vividly depicting a visit to the Strangers' Gallery. Ritchie describes the scene with a blend of reverence and skepticism, sharing his experiences while waiting to enter the House during a debate.
