'The narrative is fluent and amusing, and is far more instructive than nine-tenths of the novels published now-a-days.'--St. James's Gazette.
'Mr. Molloy's narrative is concise, and exhibits a wide acquaintance with the men and manners of the age. The anecdotes of famous men of fashion, wits, fools, or knaves introduced are amusing, and several not generally known enliven the pages.'--Morning Post.
'As a gleaner and elaborator Mr. Molloy is second to none ... well written, full of facts bearing on every subject under consideration, and abounding with anecdotes of gay and witty debauchees.'--Daily Telegraph.
'What Pepys has done for the Stuarts, Mr. Molloy has done for their Hanoverian successors. The result of his arduous investigations is one of the most interesting works which has ever come under our notice. It is impossible to open the books at any part without feeling an overpowering desire to continue the perusal.'--Newcastle Chronicle.
'The vicious characters who swarmed in the Court circle during the early period of the Hanoverian dynasty, almost as numerously and brazenly as during the latter reigns, are presented to us so clearly that we seem to live in the same atmosphere of venality and intrigue as themselves. The new edition is admirably printed and bound, and should prove widely popular, as the work is not only piquant and sensational, but of no small value as a panorama of the period which had so marked an influence on the history of our country.'--Society.
