This volume is part of the 17-volume complete edition of The Diary of James Woodforde published by The Parson Woodforde Society (1978-2008 and revisions) and should be kept separate from the various and different selections of the Diary: i.e., the 5-volume selection edited by John Beresford for Oxford University Press (1924-31 and its reprints); the smaller 1-volume selection edited by James Michie for Century Publishing (1985); and the single-volume selection by David Hughes for The Folio Society (1992).
