Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 52: April 1667
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 52: April 1667" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the mid-17th century. This work captures the daily life and observations of Pepys, who served as a naval administrator during a time of political and military turbulence in England. The diary entries reveal the intricacies of court politics, financial challenges, and personal anecdotes amid the backdrop of the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The opening of this volume portrays a range of events from the early days of April, including Pepys's interactions with notable figures such as Sir W. Coventry and Sir G. Carteret, as they grapple with financial constraints faced by the Navy and the administration. The entries reflect the melancholy tone as Pepys navigates both official duties and personal musings, including discussions about a peace treaty and details about social gatherings. The text provides vivid insights into Pepys’s thoughts on governmental proceedings, military troubles, and his personal relationships, including the ups and downs of his daily life and the social climate of London at the time.
