The Speedicut Papers Book 2 (1848-1857): Love & Other Blood Sports (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781546285281)

Book 2 of The Speedicut Papers continues the
first hand account of the life, loves and adventures of
Jasper Speedicut: charmer, sexual libertine and reluctant hero.
It is also a unique account of events in the British Empire and
beyond, comprising a series of linked adventures and anecdotes
which, when taken together, comprise a fascinating insight
into many of the half-remembered or wholly-forgotten
events of the second half of the 19th century.

"It is a matter of considerable regret to me that
The Speedicut Papers were not available to me when I wrote
my History of the English Speaking Peoples."
Sir Winston Churchill

"This book contains the only lucid explanation of the Schleswig-Holstein
question ... to which I've completely forgotten the answer."
Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston

"I was delighted to discover that, like me, Speedicut
has committed every sin in the Decalogue."
Sir Richard Burton

"Having read this remarkable narrative I would swim
the Hellespont to meet the man who wrote it."
George, 6th Baron Byron

"Speedicut's adventures in Berlin have given me
an idea for a book."
Bram Stoker
