On dirait que les voyageuses anglaises se sont partagé le monde. Devant moi, cinquante-deux volumes éclos de la plume de vingt-sept dames, -demoiselles, spinsters, ladies, governesses, marquises, comtesses, duchesses, femmes de marchands, de capitaines ou de pairs du Royaume-Uni, femmes à la mode, femmes de juges habitant les jungles de l'Hindoustan, ou de colons de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, filles de ces héroïques aventuriers qui vont abattre les chênes séculaires sur les bords du Mississipi et fonder quelque ville inconnue du côté du Texas, - prouvent bien que le globe appartient aux femmes anglaises. Depuis un siècle et demi, des cargaisons de demoiselles à marier sont annuellement expédiées de Londres à Calcutta, et vont embellir la lugubre opulence des nababs. Quelques-unes partent en riant pour l'Australasie ou la tierra caliente de l'Amérique méridionale. Il y en a qui vont se perdre, armées d'un crayon et d'un album, à l'ombre des pyramides et dans les chambres souterraines construites par Chéops et Psammetichus; d'autres qui vont causer avec Méhémet-Ali, et lui demander un brin de sa barbe pour le placer dans leur repository; d'autres qui, moins aventureuses, endossent l'amazone de drap bleu, sautent lestement sur Fanny, la jument noire, et chevauchent, accompagnées de l'éternel album, de Paris à Florence et de Florence à Marseille, à travers Chambéry, le Simplon, le Languedoc et la Provence...
