This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.
1928. This little volume is unique in ancient literature. To read
it is to be admitted to intimate communion with one of the most
remarkable men that ever sat upon a throne. Tireless, just,
self-sacrificing administrator for over forty years, he brings to
mind the line that Wordsworth used of Milton: "Thy soul was like a
star, and dwelt apart." Notebook, rather than diary, this record of
his inner life shows on every page his persistent effort to state
to himself without prejudice or predilection the real significance
of the details of human experience, as these details affected the
determination of his own feeling and his own action.
