2.0 out of 5 stars Mis-titled?, October 3, 1997

This review is from: The Diary and Life of William Byrd II of Virginia, 1674-1744 (Hardcover)
I was disappointed to learn that, despite the title, this is not really the "diary" of William Byrd II. Sections of his diary are included, but this is more properly understood as a biography, with relatively little primary material. The conclusions of an academic historian may be interesting, but if the book is billed as a "diary," I would prefer to see the primary material in its entirety, and then conclude whether or not the professor has it right!
