"The journal pages are enlivened with perceptive and amusing observations of unusual "characters" and with the recital of lively anecdotes. The publication of the Virginia Journals provides general access to an important source of materials relating to many aspects of life in the South in the early republic."—American Historical Review
"No library of American history, however modest, should be without the Guide and Index to the Latrobe papers; and every student of the period must hereafter consult the Latrobe papers—which, a century and a half after their author's death, are yet another contribution by him to the cultural life of the nation."—William & Mary Quarterly
"Carter and all the other editors deserve great praise for a beautiful and fascinating book."—Frank M. Sommer, Winterthur Portfolio
