Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 25: November/December 1663
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 25: November/December 1663" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the 17th century, specifically capturing the daily life of a prominent Englishman during the Restoration period. The diary entries provide an intimate look at the personal and professional life of Pepys, who served as a clerk of the Acts and secretary to the Admiralty, detailing his thoughts, experiences, and observations on various aspects of society, politics, and family life. The opening of this volume reveals Pepys's daily routine, beginning with reflections on new clothing received, church visits, and domestic affairs. He recounts his interactions with friends and colleagues, as well as his ongoing concerns about family dynamics, particularly with his wife. The diary entries blend personal anecdotes with commentary on contemporary issues, such as discussions on medical practices, naval affairs, and social events, providing a rich tapestry of life in 1663 England. This mixture of the mundane and the significant sets the stage for a vivid portrayal of the author's world and offers readers an engaging glimpse into early modern life.
