This is Volume 6 of the complete, unabridged transcription of Samuel Pepys's famous diary, meticulously rendered from the original shorthand manuscript held in the Pepysian Library at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Edited by Henry Benjamin Wheatley, with earlier transcriptions and notes by Mynors Bright and Richard Griffin Braybrooke, this edition offers unparalleled access to Pepys's intimate observations of 17th-century life in England.

Pepys's "Diary" provides a vivid and invaluable record of the social, political, and cultural landscape of the time, encompassing significant events such as the Restoration, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire of London. His detailed entries offer insight into the daily lives, thoughts, and relationships of a man living through extraordinary times, making this volume essential for historians, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the past.
