Very informative though one has to sift through a lot of irrelavant material if one is looking for something more specific.
toml72's review against another edition

Well worth the time. An interesting man to say the least and as eloquent a letter writer as he was elsewhere. He certainly "lived" life with great zeal. I found this to be a vivid way to get to know the man. There's a lot of details which perhaps some will not care about, but I nevertheless found of interest.
Perhaps best of all are his thoughts about his own writing, Holmes and his ambivalent feelings towards him (which was a surprise given his public statements), and his nevertheless considerable pride and care in which he took to make them as good as they could be.
A remarkable life of a remarkable man.

Really interesting depiction of a fascinating life. Well annotated, makes me want to know more about such an active literary and political personality.
