[HISTORY-ENGLAND]
Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys: Secretary to the Admiralty in the Reigns of Charles II and James II...
Pepys’ diary recounts first-hand accounts of many events during the English Restoration, including the Great Fire of London, the Second Dutch War, and the Great Plague of London. Inarguably one of the most important works ever written in the history of London. Deciphered from its original shorthand by Rev. John Smith between 1819 – 1822.
