SYNOPSIS: The detailed private diary Pepys kept from 1660 until 1669 was first published in the 19th century and is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period. It provides a combination of personal revelation and eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War, and the Great Fire of London (Wiki).

See his entries in the Oxford DNB (where his edition of Pepys is described as 'an amateurish travesty' of the transcript) and the History of Parliament. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged and folded twice. Good neat signature: 'Braybrooke'. The recipient is not named, but the name of the editor of the work mentioned by Braybrooke is given as 'C. .S.' He thanks him for 'the curious Memoir of Ambrose Barnes which has just been transmitted to me through Sir Francis Freeling', and assures him that 'it shall be carefully preserved amongst the other valuable Tracts with which you have been so good as to enrich my Collection'. He hopes that when he revisits Cambridge he will 'see Audley End in a less unfavourable state than it must have appeared last September'. The letter ends: 'I trust you have not given up exploring Parochial Registers for the benefit of antiquarians'.
