Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 62: February 1667-68
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 62: February 1667-68" by Samuel Pepys is an unabridged historical account written during the mid-17th century. The book serves as a detailed personal diary of Pepys, a public servant and notable figure in the English Restoration, chronicling his daily life, professional duties, and observations of significant events during this tumultuous period. The likely topic of the book is the complexities of politics, personal relationships, and societal norms in 17th-century England. In this volume, Pepys recounts various events from his daily life, including his responsibilities at the office and interactions with notable figures of the time. He expresses his anxieties regarding audits and inquiries into his work, particularly concerning the handling of prize goods and Navy finances. Pepys discusses playhouse visits, dinners with family and friends, and his reflections on both trivial and grave matters, revealing a keen observation of the political climate and personal trials he faces, especially related to his Lord Sandwich’s controversies and the management of the Navy amidst growing parliamentary scrutiny. His entries provide a vivid portrait of life in Restoration England, characterized by both the mundane and the historically significant. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
