Book excerpt: That wild and crazy guy of the 17th century - Samuel Pepys - continues his escapades in London and environs. In this volume: troubles with the French, the Dutch and the Spanish king, carousing and womanizing, serious financial troubles in the government, the plague continues its horrific course, and Pepys' astounding report of the Great Fire of London! Much too scandalous to be published in its own time, this first person account sheds an entirely different light on Pepys' times.The Great Fire burned for more than four months. Near the beginning, Pepys wrote:"...we ... saw the fire grow; and, as it grew darker, appeared more and more, and in corners and upon steeples, and between churches and houses, as far as we could see up the hill of the City, in a most horrid malicious bloody flame, not like the fine flame of an ordinary fire. ... we saw the fire as only one entire arch of fire from this to the other side the bridge, and in a bow up the hill for an arch of above a mile long: it made me weep to see it. The churches, houses, and all on fire and flaming at once; and a horrid noise the flames made, and the cracking of houses at their ruins."

Download or read book The Diary of Samuel Pepys Vol 7 written by Samuel Pepys and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-12-15 with total page 468 pages. 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.

He is thirty-three, and will gather rose-buds while he may; not wait to enjoy life when his powers of enjoyment are decayed. He counts his gains from time to time is worth on the 4th of March; this has become by the end of April; and is on the 3rd of July. He is profiting by opportunities of war-time, but what is that to the robbery everywhere about him in the public service; beginning with the king, though Pepys does not hint at that. Only he works a little sum, counts up the money paid by the country for the war, and money spent upon the war, then asks what has become of the balance, His Diary, however, helps us to understand what had become, of it.
