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
