Memoirs of Samuel Pepys is a collection of personal writings by Samuel Pepys, a prominent figure in 17th century England. Pepys was the Secretary to the Admiralty during the reigns of Charles II and James II, and his memoirs provide a fascinating insight into the political and social landscape of the time. This particular volume, the first of several, covers the years 1660 to 1663 and includes Pepys' observations on the Restoration of the monarchy, the Great Plague of London, and the rebuilding of the city after the Great Fire of 1666. The book is written in Pepys' own unique style, which is both candid and witty, and provides a vivid picture of life in 17th century England. This edition was first published in 1825 and includes annotations and commentary by the editor, Richard Lord Braybrooke.Comprising His Diary From 1659-1669.
