S, Vol. 1: Jan; 1, 1660 June 4, 1660 Although the Diary of Samuel Pepys has been in the hands of the public for nearly seventy years, it has not hitherto appeared in its entirety. In the original edition of 182 5 scarcely half of the manuscript was printed. Lord Braybrooke added some passages as the various editions were published, but in the preface to his last edition he wrote: there appeared indeed no necessity to amplify or in any way to alter the text of the Diary beyond the correction of a few verbal errors and corrupt passages hitherto overlooked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Pepys is as much a paragon of literature as Chaucer and Shakespeare. His Diary is one of the principal sources for many aspects of the history of its period. In spite of its significance, all previous editions were inadequately edited and suffered from a number of omissions—until Robert Latham and William Matthews went back to the 300-year-old original manuscript and deciphered each passage and phrase, no matter how obscure or indiscreet. The Diary deals with some of the most dramatic events in English history. Pepys witnessed the London Fire, the Great Plague, the Restoration of Charles II, and the Dutch Wars. He was a patron of the arts, having himself composed many delightful songs and participated in the artistic life of London. His flair for gossip and detail reveals a portrait of the times that rivals the most swashbuckling and romantic historical novels. In none of the earlier versions was there a reliable, full text, with commentary and notation with any claim to completeness. This edition, first published in 1970, is the first in which the entire diary is printed with systematic comment. This is the only complete edition available; it is as close to Pepys’s original as possible.

This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Pepys Diary - 1660. The first year of Samuel Pepys extraordinary and seminal diary. On 1 January 1660 ("1 January 1659/1660" in contemporary terms), Pepys began to keep a diary, often regarded as Britain's most celebrated diary. Pepys has been called the greatest diarist of all time due to his frankness in writing concerning his own weaknesses and the accuracy with which he records events of daily British life and major events in the 17th century. Pepys wrote about the contemporary court and theatre (including his amorous affairs with the actresses), his household, and major political and social occurrences. In the first year of the diary, England sees the return of the exiled Charles II, as Parliament officially declares Charles II King. Pepys is onboard the ship that is due to bring him home, part of a fleet commanded by his distant cousin, Edward Montagu. Pepys meets the king for the first time, describing him briefly as 'a sober man.' He is forced to rethink his opinion, though, when Charles comes on board ship. The King's return sees retribution for the execution of his father, Charles I, with the vividly described hanging, drawing and quartering of Thomas Harrison, John Carew and eight others for their part in the execution of Charles I. 'Thus, ' Pepys observes, 'it was my chance to see the King beheaded at White Hall, and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the blood of the King at Charing Cross.'
