The edition itself seeks to reproduce typographically all essential features of the original document. The introductory material describes the notebook bibliographically, sets it in its biographical context, and discusses some of its more important technical features. Included in the extensive apparatus are textual notes, explications of Hardy's occasional quotations - indicating, in most instances, the editions or actual volumes he certainly or probably used. Explanatory notes are provided for - among other things - some erased but now partly recoved memoranda of Hardy's that appear to have significant biographical implications.

Review
'a superb scholarly edition of this very important record of Hardy's early literary efforts has been prepared by Pamela Dalziel and Michael Millgate ... an invaluable guide through this thicket of Hardy's uses of quotation and personal amplification by identifying the source of each discoverable quotation - even the actual copy of the book Hardy used - and carefully discriminating Hardy's quotations from his own comments and experimental variations ... this fine example of meticulous editing makes it an appropriate memorial to a scholar whose work exhibited that combination of wide-ranging scholarship and scrupulous care for detail they have lavished on it.'Robert Schweik, SUNY at Fredonia, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920, Volume 38:1 1995
Millgate and Dalziel have transcribed and annotated the Notebook with meticulous care. (Michael Thorpe, English Studies)
a welcome addition to the growing collection of published Hardy notebooks, and will be an essential tool for anyone trying to assess the nature of Hardy's early self-education ... A well-organized index and the clearly keyed annotations, which allow the reader to search for particular authors and identify quotations easily, help contribute to the overall effectiveness of this new edition. (Catherine Maxwel, University of London, Review of English Studies, Vol. 47, No. 186, May '96)
