Crown 8vo. 5s. net. Sixth Edition.
Times.—“All that has happened, all that has been said or thought about the war, is preserved by Mr. Pepys, Junior, in a style that robs it of all offence and gives us a faithful mirror of our times.”
Scotsman.—“The trick of intermingling small things with great and of slipping without effort, in the immortal Samuel’s best style, from the great European conflict to his wife’s hats is so reminiscent that the pages move the reader to constant smiles.”
Pall Mall Gazette.—“It is hard to decide which is more pleasing in this book—the text or the illustrations. The Senior Pepys has transmitted something of all his wonderful and divers qualities to the descendant—his ubiquitous eye, his garrulousness, his exuberant egoism and perfect selfishness, and his humour.”
Star.—“A more agreeable gallery of diverting worldlings we have seldom met.”
Westminster Gazette.—“Being absolutely inimitable, Pepys has had many imitators. But none with whom we are acquainted has succeeded so well in a most difficult task as ‘Samuel Pepys, Junr.’”
Land and Water.—“Great events have crowded so quickly on one another that already we find it difficult to arrange our recollections rightly. In this diary, flavoured with Attic salt, we are carried back to hours and controversies which seem to-day almost to belong to a previous life. Into whatever page one may choose to dip, there is something to arrest attention, to encourage reading and to awaken mirth.”
To-Day.—“Here at length we have an imitation of Pepys’ Diary which is as perfect and satisfying as such a thing could well be. Samuel Pepys, Junior, knows the original with uncanny exactitude.”
British Weekly.—“A book of genius. In many ways it is the most wonderful book that this war has produced.”
Daily Mail.—“It is the most diverting book that has appeared for many a day. Laughable though the book is, it has the seriousness and the acid of all good satire, and is as faithful a history withal of these days as any that the serious historians have penned.”
BOOKS BY PIERRE MILLE
Morning Post.—“Pierre Mille has a right to be considered the French Kipling.”
