Winston edition of The Brothers Karamazov forms part of the publisher's distinguished mid-century series of world classics selected and introduced by W. Somerset Maugham, who famously identified Dostoevsky's novel as one of the ten greatest novels of world literature. The translation, revised by Princess Alexandra Kropotkin, reflects an important English-language lineage of Dostoevsky scholarship, while the striking woodcut illustrations by Louis Hechenleikner lend the volume strong visual character.

The papers of Sir Charles Stewart Scott (an Ulsterman: see his entry in the Ulster Dictionary of Biography) are held by the British Library. The present journal, described by its writer as 'Private & most Confidential', covers the very start of his career, from Paris in 1859 to Copenhagen in 1863. The basic details of his career to this point, together with information regarding his colleagues, are to be found in the Foreign Office List for January 1865: Scott was nominated attaché in 1858 and transferred to Paris on 31 March 1859, and to Dresden on 5 October of the same year, to Copenhagen three years later, and was promoted to position of a third secretary in April of 1863. This journal is 186pp, 8vo; all edges gilt, in embossed brown cloth binding, with the label of Paris stationers Delarue & Hivert. The paper is lightly aged, with a little discoloration, and a few loosening leaves, and the binding is worn, but the general overall condition is good. On reverse of front free endpaper: '33 Rue de la Madelaine / Charles: S: Scott. / Attached to H.B.M Embassy Paris'. The diary is, as Scott admits, kept in a 'negligent way'. The first page is headed 'Private / Paris', and the first three-quarters of the journal consist of 140pp covering the period between 18 June to 16 November 1859, followed by three and a half pages headed 'Nearly A year afterwards in Octr 1860', but with only one entry: 4 October 1860. After a blank page the final quarter of the journal consists of 45pp carrying desultory entries between March 1861 and January 1863, as follows: 4pp, Dresden, 26 March 1861; 6pp, 'January 1862'; 7pp, 6 to 14 January 1862'; 16pp, 16 October to 12 November 1862; 2pp, Copenhagen, 21 December 1862; 2pp, 'January 1863'; 3pp, 'Princess Alexandra'. The diary contains a good mixture of the personal and professional. Of particular interest is Scott's description of Embassy news and gossip: reports and telegrams received, communications composed, the views of superiors, articles in the newspapers. The pre-eminent topic is the Parisian response to the conclusion of the 1859 Franco-Austrian War (Second Italian War of Independence), including a description of Napoleon III's victory parade and a couple of references to Garibaldi. Other topics include the American Civil War and the marriage of Princess Alexandra of Denmark to the future King Edward VII. There is also a description of initial reports of the Second Battle of the Taku Forts (June 1859) in the Second Opium War. On the personal side there what Scott himself sees as his 'illspent youth', with frequent references to money worries (4 August: 'we all dined at Voisin's, capital dinner but enormously dear 18 frs a head. Afterwards we played Loo, and I lost £16 - my state of mind is something awful. I could scarcely sleep a wink all night & vowed I never should play a gambling game again'. The following day he 'must borrow £25 from somebody'). He searches for new lodgings in Paris, describes his dinner engagements and socializing ('I saw some very pretty faces in the Champs Elysees'), his private reading ('I finished Tennyson's New poem. I like it as a whole very much, Enid is very pretty & so is the last Guinevre [sic] I think my favorite is Alaine (evidently the Lad of Shalott)'), the weather and much Embassy news and gossip. With reference to the Franco-Austrian War (Second Italian War of Independence), on 25 June Scott describes an early report of the victory of Napoleon III and the Sardinians at the Battle of Solferino: 'On my way down to the Chancery at 12.30 I saw an "Affiche" giving the news of a great battle dated Caravina June 24 9.15 in the morning to the effect that the Allies had engaged the whole Austr[ia]n. Army in a line of 15 miles taken all the positions & captured several guns, flags & prisoners. The details have not yet been given. It appears to have been a very bloody affair, & I should not wonder at hearing a very different version soon.' The following day is the Fê.
