Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, M. A., F. R. S: Edited, With Additions
Prince will be asking now who this Pepys is, and find him to be a creature of my Lord Sandwich's, and therefore this was done only to disparage him. Anon they broke up, and Sir W. Coventry come out; so I asked his advice. He told me he had said something to salve it, which was, that his Highnesse had, he believed, rightly informed the King that the fieete is come in good condition to have staid out yet longer, and have fought the enemy, but yet that Mr. Pepys his meaning might be, that, though in so good con dition, if they should come in and lie all the winter, we shall be very loth to send them to sea for another year's service with[out] great repairs. He said it would be no hurt if I went to him, and showed him the report himself brought up from the fleete, where every ship, by the Com mander's report, do need more or less, and not to mention more of Sir W. Pen for doing him a mischief. SO I said I would, but do not think that all this will redound to my hurt, because the truth of what I said will soon appear. Thence, having been informed that, after all this pains, the King hath found out how to supply us with 5 or when were at this time but absolutely necessary, and we mentioned This is every day a greater and greater omen of mine. God fit us for it! Sir I. Minnes and I home (it raining) by coach, calling only on Sir G. Carteret at his lodging (who is I find troubled at my Lord Treasurer and Sir Ph. Warwicke bungling in his ac counts), and come home to supper with my father, and then all to bed. I made my brother in his cassocke to say grace this day, but I like his voice so ill that I begin to be sorry he hath taken this order upon him.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed journal of Samuel Pepys, an influential naval administrator who was an eyewitness to the Great Fire of London, the second Anglo-Dutch War, and the political machinations of the Restoration era. More than just a personal account, the journal offers remarkable insights into the Restoration court. Pepys was well-placed to observe the great events of his time as he was the Secretary to the Admiralty. His writings expose the political corruption, vanity, and reckless pleasure-seeking that characterised the court of King Charles II. He also vividly describes the social and economic conditions of the period and his observations of the Great Fire and the plague, providing a unique perspective on these catastrophic events, and on everyday life in 17th century London. The author's meticulous attention to detail provides a matchless source of information about the era, documenting not just the remarkable events of that period but also the texture of everyday existence. Pepys recorded his hopes, fears, and indiscretions with remarkable candor, and his diary has become an indispensable resource for historians seeking to understand this extraordinary period of English history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
