 After a residence of perhaps fifteen months Sterling1 quitted St. Vincent, and never returned. He reappeared at his Father's house, to the joy of English friends, in August, 1832; well improved in health, and eager for English news; but, beyond vague schemes and possibilities, considerably3 uncertain what was next to be done.
 
After no long stay in this scene,—finding Downing Street dead as stone to the Slave-Education and to all other schemes,—he went across, with his wife and child, to Germany; purposing to make not so much a tour as some loose ramble4, or desultory5 residence in that country, in the Rhineland first of all. Here was to be hoped the picturesque6 in scenery, which he much affected7; here the new and true in speculation8, which he inwardly longed for and wanted greatly more; at all events, here as readily as elsewhere might a temporary household be struck up, under interesting circumstances.—I conclude he went across in the Spring of 1833; perhaps directly after Arthur Coningsby had got through the press. This Novel, which, as we have said, was begun two or three years ago, probably on his cessation from the Athenaeum, and was mainly finished, I think, before the removal to St. Vincent, had by this time fallen as good as obsolete9 to his own mind; and its destination now, whether to the press or to the fire, was in some sort a matter at once of difficulty and of insignificance10 to him. At length deciding for the milder alternative, he had thrown in some completing touches here and there,—especially, as I conjecture
