The Speedicut Papers Book 2 (1848–1857‪)‬

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.

This book contains the only lucid explanation of the Schleswig-Holstein

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.

Speedicuts adventures in Berlin have given me
an idea for a book.
