The text is prefaced by a lengthy and illuminating introduction which sets the diary in context. Apart from giving a full account of this little-known personality, it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the preoccupations and priorities of Jeake's age, and not least the rationale and affiliations of astrology in the age of the Financial Revolution.

Review
'Jeake's meticulously edited diary should continue to attract the attention of social historians for years to come.' The Listener
`a valuable source and deserves to be widely known'English Historical Review
'edited with marvellous care' Daily Telegraph
' this diary of a puritan Pooter, handsomely produced by the Clarendon Press, remains an interesting curiosity ... full of delicious moments of unintentional comedy' The Spectator
'this book is something for which ... we can be very grateful.' Patrick Curry
'With its substantial introduction, glossary of technical terms ... this annotated text is a prime addition to the diverse literature of the subject' History and Archaeology Review
'It is a fascinating source both for an astrological interpretation of day-to-day life, and for the record of books Jeake read. For once a publisher's blurb seems justified: this probably is 'one of the most interesting seventeenth-century diaries to be published this century'.' J.C. Robertson, Washington University, St Louis, Renaissance Studies
'This very useful edition of a previously unpublished later seventeenth-century diary is a welcome addition to the body of works in this genre in the period ... it presents an invaluable view of daily life in a provincial town and of familial and business relationships within it.' Lotte Mulligan, La Trobe University, Albion
