"We unhesitatingly characterize this journal as the most remarkable production of its kind which has ever been given to the world. Pepys paints the Court, the Monarchs, and the times, in more vivid colours than any one else. His 'Diary' makes us comprehend the great historical events of the age, and the people who bore a part in them, and gives us more clear glimpses into the true English life of the times than all the other memorials of them that have come down to our own."—Edinburgh Review.
"The best book of its kind in the English language. 'Pepys' Diary' is the ablest picture of the age in which the writer lived, and a work of standard importance in English literature."—Athenæum.
