The book captures Leacock's impressions and observations as he travels to England, reflecting on various aspects of British life, society, and politics, contrasting it with his experiences in Canada and the U.S.  The opening of the book introduces Leacock as an intriguing figure—a Canadian of English origin who is perhaps caught between two cultural worlds. He begins by commenting on the trend of English literary figures lecturing in America, suggesting that they take impressions of America back to England for commercial gain. Leacock humorously positions himself as a figure who desires to reverse this trend by traveling to England to collect his own impressions. He sets up a satirical tone by critiquing both English customs and society while sharing amusing anecdotes related to his travels, customs experiences, and his initial observations upon arriving in London. Through these sketches, he establishes the framework for his comedic exploration of England throughout the rest of the work.
