TIMES.
"Miss Burney's work ought to be placed beside Boswell's 'Life,' to which it forms an excellent supplement."
LITERARY GAZETTE.
"This publication will take its place in the libraries beside Walpole and Boswell."
MESSENGER.
"This work may be considered a kind of supplement to Boswell's Life of Johnson. It is a beautiful picture of society as it existed in manners, taste, and literature, in the reign of George the Third, drawn by a pencil as vivid and brilliant as that of any of the celebrated persons who composed the circle."
POST.
"Miss Burney's Diary, sparkling with wit, teeming with lively anecdote and delectable gossip, and full of sound and discreet views of persons and things, will be perused with interest by all classes of readers."
