Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1668 N.S.
Samuel Pepys kept his diary in shorthand from 1660 to 1669, and this volume, following the transcription of the Reverend Mynors Bright, contains the whole of the year 1668. Pepys, now a senior official of the Navy Board, defends his office before Parliament after the disasters of the Dutch war, dines with lords, buys books, goes constantly to the theater, has a coach built and takes his household on a summer journey to the West Country. At home his wife discovers his affair with her companion Deb Willet, and the quarrels that follow are recorded with startling frankness. Few documents bring the London of Charles II so close, and this year shows the diarist at his most candid.
