Samuel Pepys began his celebrated diary in 1660, at the age of 26,
as a young and ambitious secretary. Due to his support of the
king's restoration, he soon found himself in an influential
position in the Royal Navy's administration. He was to keep the
diary for nearly ten years, until his eye sight failed, and in it
he would record many of the great events of the age, such as the
outbreak of plague and the Great Fire of London, as well as many
smaller, domestic and personal happenings. Although written in
shorthand and principally for his own personal remembrance and
pleasure, it is clear at times that Pepys had one eye on posterity.
It is a large work, conveniently divided into one volume per year;
here is the first, based on the first complete edition, that of
Henry B. Wheatley, originally published in 1893.
