The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Esquire, P.R.S. (G. Newnes. 38.

6d. net.)—This is a reprint, on India paper, of Lord Bray- brooke's original edition (published in 1825). A vast amount of pains has been taken to supply lacunae which Lord Braybrooke, commonly of set purpose, left. For all practical purposes the Diary is here. What was left out was left out for good reasons.
