About this title: Pepys's diary has long been recognized as one of the most remarkable in the English language, but it has been impossible until recent times to print it as he wrote it. Little academic work had been done on it and legal restrictions prevented the publication of its frankest passages in which Pepys describes his vigorous love life. In the pages reproduced here, the public events of the 1660s - the politics of the Restoration, the Dutch War, the Plague, the Great Fire of London - are interwoven with a diverting account of Pepys colourful private life.

"This is a private journal from the mid 1600s of an upper level Navy administrator from his late 20s to his mid 30s. It's interesting to see a "real world" glimpse back in time. It was made more interesting since he was writing during the plague and the fire of London."
"I have the whole set of Samuel Pepys diaries plus this extracted version- the Robert Latham series and I enjoy it immensely. It's a great way to enjoy life in London in the 1660's and the advent of what we would recognize as a middle class person enjoying life in a metropolis with coffee houses and restaurants and investment opportunities as well as the opportunity for extra marital romance and scientific lectures."
"I started this awhile ago, set it aside, and have returned again, with pleasure. If you'd like a first-hand and often humorous glimpse into life in the 17th century, you'll enjoy getting to know Samuel Pepys."
