First edition of an eye-witness account of seventeenth-century
England - the dark side of Pepys. Seven-volume set. Compiled
between the years 1677 and 1691, the Entring Book is 900,000 words
long, with many sensitive passages written in a secret shorthand
that has only recently been decoded. This remarkable chronicle of
public affairs has remained for nearly three centuries, secure but
little known, in Dr Williams's Library, London. The Entring Book
fits no simple definition. It is not just a political diary, nor is
it only the newsletter it sometimes resembles.It's possible that it
could have been the material for a history of Morrice's own times,
or it may have been a letterbook, recording correspondence to an
unnamed recipient. Writing in great detail, with meticulous
regularity, Morrice may have been passing on all he knew to senior
figures in the opposition to Charles II and James II. The Entring
Book's enormous scope means it also covers publishing, plays,
business, military and religious matters, foreign affairs, public
opinion and London life, making it an essential resource. Through
it we can trace the transformation of puritanism into Whiggery and
Dissent. This seven volume set includes an introductory and an
index volumeas well as a biographical encyclopedia of names.
