Samuel Pepys
Translated by Mynors Bright
A historical account, written in the mid-17th century during the Restoration period. The book details the daily life and experiences of Pepys, a naval administrator, as he documents significant events and personal reflections through his diary entries. The primary focus of this volume is on Pepys' professional life, his interactions with notable figures of the time, and the political landscape of England following the restoration of Charles II. In this volume, Pepys continues to chronicle his day-to-day activities, highlighting his work at the Admiralty and his personal life with his wife. He reflects on the political atmosphere in a nation adjusting to the monarchy's return, shares anecdotes about his companions and outings, and expresses his aspirations for advancement within the naval administration. The entries capture the essence of a society in transition, blending detailed observations of mundane daily tasks with commentary on larger social and political themes, such as the opening of the Royal Navy Office, his path to becoming the Clerk of the Acts, and various social interactions that reveal both the aspirations and challenges of the era.
