Product Description
The diary which Samuel Pepys kept from January 1660 to May 1669 ...is one of our greatest historical records and... a major work of English literature
A witness to the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666, Pepys chronicled the events of his day. Originally written in a cryptic shorthand, Pepys's diary provides an astonishingly frank and diverting account of political intrigues and naval, church, and cultural affairs, as well as a quotidian journal of daily life in London during the Restoration.
Three uniform hardcover volumes in dark blue cloth, titles in gilt to spines and SP motif to front covers.
The slipcase shows an 'aerial' view of early 1660's London , looking northwards from Southwark ( before the devastation of the great fire of 1666)
ThIRD PRINTING OF THE FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION, 1998. IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO FLAWS NOTED ( there is one small smudge mark to the top of the slipcase)
