Memoirs of Samuel Pepys (the Diary, first publication)

Samuel Pepys (ed. Lord Braybrooke) · Henry Colburn, London · 1825

No book-club edition for 1825. Reprint tells are edition-statement and format based: Colburn's own 1828 second edition is stated and is five volumes octavo, and later nineteenth-century editions under other editors are separate texts rather than printings of Braybrooke's 1825 — they are "first thus" at best and must not be described as the first publication of the diary. The Latham & Matthews set is collected in its own right as the first complete transcription; first impressions of all eleven volumes across the 1970-83 span are what a complete set requires.
