The Concise Pepys by Samuel Pepys

In this diary Pepys observed and recorded the details of a ten-year period of English history which included not only the Restoration, but the Great Plague of 1665 and the Fire of London of the following year.

In July 1660, Samuel Pepys was appointed Clerk of the Acts to the Naval Board, and went on to become an MP and Chief Secretary to the Admiralty. His diary, which he kept for nearly ten years, is a vivid account of some of seventeenth-century England's most significant events.
