The Diary of Samuel Pepys is a historical book that recounts the personal and professional life of Samuel Pepys, a 17th-century Englishman. The diary was written by Pepys himself and spans from January 1660 to May 1669. It provides a detailed account of the political, social, and cultural events that occurred during this period, including the Restoration of the English monarchy, the Great Plague of London, and the Great Fire of London. The diary also offers insight into Pepys' personal life, including his relationships with his wife, family, and friends, as well as his daily routine, interests, and hobbies. Pepys was a prominent figure in the English government and the book sheds light on his role in the Navy Board, his interactions with other officials, and his opinions on political matters. This edition of the diary was edited by Lord Braybrooke and includes footnotes and annotations to provide additional context and explanation of the events and people mentioned in the diary. The Diary of Samuel Pepys is considered a valuable primary source for historians and provides a fascinating glimpse into life in 17th-century England.3rd. Drank my morning draft at Harper's, and was told there that the soldiers were all quiet upon promise of pay. Thence to St. James's Park, back to Whitehall, where in a guard-chamber I saw about thirty or forty 'prentices of the City, who were taken at twelve o'clock last night and brought prisoners hither.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
