THE DIARY OF A NOBODY ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN PUNCH, AND IS RE-PUBLISHED BY THE PERMISSION OF THE PROPRIETORS, MESSRS. BRADBURY AND AGNEW. THE DIARY HAS SINCE BEEN CONSIDERABLY ADDED TO. THE EXCELLENT TITLE WAS SUGGESTED BY OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, F. C. Burnand, TO WHOM WE HAVE THE GREAT PLEASURE OF DEDICATING THIS VOLUME. GEORGE GROSSMITH, WEEDON GROSSMITH. London, June, 1892.

Introduction by Mr. Pooter.

---

Why should I not publish my diary? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see—because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody'—why my diary should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth. Charles Pooter. The Laurels, Brickfield Terrace, Holloway.
