It engendered much excitement and clearly sold well in England, each volume going through a number of editions"-ODNB. "Burnet's critics often accuse him of overstating, in his History and elsewhere, his own importance in the events of his time. While it is true that Burnet was an egomaniac, and he undoubtedly expected future historians to study him, there is much truth to his assertions. His career can be evaluated by dividing it into two, sometimes overlapping, spheres: his engagement in public affairs and his vocation as an author"-ODNB. Bound in leather with gilt lettering.
