Although Google Books reports that this book was published in 1838, since this is book contains extracts from letters written in 1839 and 1840, this cannot be the case. The book is, moreover, a third edition copy. It is possible the first edition was published in 1838 and the subsequent editions had more recent letters added.

[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2022: Compiled by James Backhouse drawing on letters he wrote written between 1831 and 1840. Published by Harvey and Darton in London, reportedly in 1838, but probably in c.1840 given some of the letters were only written in 1839 and 1840. A copy was acquired by New York Public Library at an unknown date. It was digitised by an unknown party, probably Google, in 2008 and uploaded to Google Books. Acquired online by FHYA in March 2022.
