Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 24: September/October 1663
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 24: September/October 1663" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century. This volume serves as a continuation of Pepys's renowned diary, which provides an intimate glimpse into his daily life, work, and the sociopolitical climate of London during the Restoration period. The entries highlight Pepys's role as the Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Admiralty while sharing personal reflections and observations on various aspects of life, from handling family affairs to significant events in the realm. The opening of this volume introduces readers to Pepys's routine as he records his mornings at the office, discussions with colleagues, and interactions with family members. Key themes include his struggles to maintain good relationships within his family, particularly concerning his wife, as well as his observations on the unrest among seamen and his attendance at courtly functions. We also see him navigate reports on the health of the Queen and other political matters while discussing the financial intricacies of his position in the Admiralty. The narrative is rich with detail, showcasing not just the historical events of the time but also the personal insights of a man deeply invested in his work and personal life, making it an engaging read for those interested in early modern history.
