"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 19: November/December 1662" by Samuel Pepys is a historical diary written during the mid-17th century. This volume continues the detailed account of the daily life, political affairs, and personal experiences of Samuel Pepys, who served as the Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Admiralty. The diary provides an intimate glimpse into Pepys’ life in Restoration England, covering topics such as naval operations, social engagements, and the complexities of his personal relationships. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the mundane yet fascinating details of Pepys’ daily activities and the events surrounding him. He recounts various meetings with colleagues in the Navy, discussions about naval logistics, dinner gatherings, and significant occurrences in his social circle, including news about relationships and rumors among the aristocracy.
