The 1660s represent a turning point in English history, and for the main events - the Restoration, the Dutch War, the Great Plague, the Fire of London - Pepys provides a definitive eyewitness account. Along with lively descriptions of his socializing, his amorous entanglements, his theater-going & music-making. Unequaled for its frankness, high spirits & sharp observations, the diary is both a literary masterpiece & a marvelous portrait of 17th-century life. Acclaimed by 'The Times' as "one of the glories of contemporary English publishing" and by Sir Arthur Bryant as "complete perfection", the Latham and Matthews edition remains the authoritative text and provides the source for this magnificent Folio Society publication.

Samuel Pepys was an English diarist and naval administrator whose private diary that Pepys kept from 1660 until 1669 (yet first published in the 19th century) is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period. Besides personal revelations like court intrigue, gossip, living conditions, weather, diet, counterfeiting, public hangings, it also contains eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War, and the Great Fire of London.

Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Vol. 4 of 10: With From His October, and an Introduction to Each Volume The Dutch War and the Dali of Clarendon are the events of history which this volume illustrates. We have the miserable close of the war, with the Dutch fleet in the Thames, London in panic, sailors unpaid, the means even of defence wanting, and the end of the monarchy looked for through the profligacy of a king who had dissipated, in his brutal pleasures, larger grants of war-money than his predecessors knew how to obtain, A shameful war is closed hurriedly by shameful peace, upon such terms as are given only to the vanquished. A shameful Court varies its dissipations with mean griping for more money to be meanly spent. A Parliament is called, and sent away again because it has appeared possible to do without it, after all.
