About This Item
London: G. Bell & Sons Limited, 1928. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 3 book set. book 1- vol. 1-3 1659-1663: 371 pages. book 2- vol. 4-6 1664-1667: 385 pages. book 3- vol. 7-9 1667-1669: 313 pages plus index. the essential writings of Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), a remarkable man who witnessed the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666. Originally scribbled in a cryptic shorthand, Pepys's quotidian journal of life in Restoration London provides an astonishingly frank and diverting account of political intrigues; naval, church, and cultural affairs; and the sexual escapades and domestic strife of a man with a voracious, childlike appetite for living. "As a human document the Diary is literally unique," notes Le Gallienne. "It will have a still greater value for its historical importance.".
