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.

Ritchie describes the scene with a blend of reverence and skepticism, sharing his experiences while waiting to enter the House during a debate. He provides astute commentary on the assembly's atmosphere, the decorum observed by members, and the cynicism surrounding political engagement.
