This volume presents 1,251 letters, 447 previously unpublished, for the years 1853 to 1855, plus a substantial Appendix and Addenda containing over 280 letters of the years 1831 to 1852 which came to light too late for earlier volumes. The Pilgrim Edition continues on its weighty and impressive way, and once again it is appropriate to congratulate all concerned, the learned editors, the scrupulous publishers, the typesetters and printers, and the British Academy which adopted the edition as an official research project.
