Review
This is an admirable edition, and about time. Breuer has printed the Note-Books carefully and allowed them to be read as the 1920s preferred (as a collection of clever sayings...)....the reader can go through these Note-Books looking for the witty Butler, or the scholar can see the development of his mind. Both readings are possible, as they have not been until this edition. All nineteenth-century afficionados should be grateful for this edition. (Analytical and Enumerative Bibliography)

The present version of Samuel Butler's celebrated Note-Books is an impressive effort to bring order to the long succession of comments on his life and thoughts put together by Butler in his lifetime...impressive editorial exercise. (Modern Fiction Studies)
