Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. 1st Printing. Description: Features 147 black and white illustrations. ''Samuel Pepys, with his insatiable curiosity, his sociable disposition, and the ample opportunities provided by his office, was ideally equipped to know the world in which he lived. It was small by modern standards, and we can see it through his own eyes, as he never intended us to see it. His diary, written in a shorthand that was almost a secret code, is both a guide to a London that was scarcely more than a big village, and a self-portrait of an outstanding man. He was a first-class administrator, one of the makers of the Royal Navy; he was a social man about town, a founder-member of the Royal Society, a bibliophile and amateur musician, and a connoisseur of pretty wenches (though endearingly inept in performance). Pepys's life spanned seven of the most eventful decades of English history.'' BINDING/CONDITION: green binding with gilt spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. chronology, list of illustrations, index. 9.5 inches tall by 7.5 inches wide. 128 pages.
