Hi, Or, try World Cat or your local public library. I have requested the 1900 edition as well as two others from my local public library. I was thinking the Diary of Samuel Pepys was what was being encouraged and not the book on his genealogy? (We had that one, too, though...) Isn't it funny, though, how different people's reactions are to the titles by Charles Dickens? I adored Great Expectations but had quite the conversation about it and A Tale of Two Cities wtih some scouts over the weekend. They are also all interested in genealogy...so we talked about that, too.
