Ratings and reviews

Before purchasing, download the sample and read the 1903 Preface by Waters. Though minor, Waters took it upon himself to decide for us all how much of Montaigne's journal should be published. I must state that this is not the fault of Delphi Publishing, hence giving this 5 stars.
