| Notes: | Daily diary of Pepys ("Peeps"), naval administrator in the court of Charles II. He tells of his business and private doings, including his affairs, the plague in 1665, the London fire of 1666, the 2nd Dutch War and his increasing wealth. "And so to bed." I read an abridged version titled The Shorter Pepys. |
