The book is an excellent description of the cultural and moral realities of the 18th-19th centuries.

"Nemtsevich attached great importance to writing down his diary and compiling his memoirs, which he considered not only a writing duty, but also a civic one. He kept a diary from the time of his youthful trip to Italy in 1784, separately describing all his travels. He crowned this strand of work with 'Memoirs of My Times'" (PSB).
