Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 44: July 1666
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 44: July 1666" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the mid-17th century, specifically during the Restoration period in England. This book is a continuation of Pepys' famous diaries, which chronicle daily life, political happenings, and personal reflections amidst the backdrop of the English Civil War and the subsequent Restoration. In this volume, the focus is on the tumultuous events and personal experiences of Pepys during July 1666, a time marked by the aftermath of the Great Fire of London and ongoing military conflicts. Throughout this diary entry, Pepys records his observations and reactions to various events, including the pressing of sailors into military service and the continuous war crises. He notes the emotional toll on families separated by the press-gang, as well as the challenges faced in managing the navy and the state during a time of heightened tension with the Dutch. Pepys also provides insights into his own personal life, such as his relationships with friends, work at the Admiralty, and reflections on the conduct of naval battles, including an attempt to make sense of the outcomes and the decisions made by military leaders. His entries reflect a mix of political intrigue, social commentary, and detailed accounts of the human experience during this significant period in English history.
