Product Information

Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich (“My Lord”) (1625–1672)+ (1642)+ Jemima Crew (“My Lady”) (1625–1674) In the diary Pepys records the beginning of a lasting friendship with John Evelyn, another great diarist; a friendship represented in this engraving which Pepys arranges alongside those other close companions in his albums of engraved portraits or ‘Heads’. A century and a half later, it was John Evelyn’s diary which was published first and to great acclaim in 1818. This success prompted those at Magdalene who were aware of the existence of Pepys’s diary, which had come to the College as part of the library and remained there virtually unread, to ponder on publication. Lord Grenville, former Prime Minister and uncle to the Master of Magdalene at the time, George Neville-Grenville, commented that the publication of Pepys’s diary would form an ‘excellent accompaniment to Evelyn’s delightful diary’.

My wife has been so ill of late of her old pain that I have not known her this fortnight almost, which is a pain to me. The stone was described as being the size of a tennis ball. Presumably, a real tennis ball, which is slightly smaller than a modern lawn tennis ball, but still an unusually large stone Pepys' job required him to meet many people to dispense money and make contracts. He often laments how he "lost his labour" having gone to some appointment at a coffee house or tavern, only to discover that the person whom he was seeking was not there. These occasions were a constant source of frustration to Pepys. Bryson (2010), p.123: "Of one maid, Mary Mercer, the Dictionary of National Biography serenely notes: "Samuel seems to have made a habit of fondling Mercer's breasts while she dressed him in the morning"…When they weren't dressing him, absorbing his blows, or providing roosts for his gropes, Pepys's servants were expected to comb his hair and wash his ears."Brian may be mentioned a lot, but we don't know much about him other than being the best of the best at school, and is implied to be pressured by his father a lot to do good at school. And he is also implied to be a "Stepford smiler", meaning he is trying to look ok despite everyone depending and looking up on him. Anomymous (3 January 1995).

He was fond of wine, plays, and the company of other people. He also spent time evaluating his fortune and his place in the world. He was always curious and often acted on that curiosity, as he acted upon almost all his impulses. Periodically, he would resolve to devote more time to hard work instead of leisure. For example, in his entry for New Year's Eve, 1661, he writes: "I have newly taken a solemn oath about abstaining from plays and wine…" The following months reveal his lapses to the reader; by 17 February, it is recorded, "Here I drank wine upon necessity, being ill for the want of it." Samuel Pepys FRS ( / p iː p s/; [1] 23 February 1633 – 26 May 1703) was an English diarist and naval administrator. He served as administrator of the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament and is most famous for the diary he kept for a decade. Pepys had no maritime experience, but he rose to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and King James II through patronage, diligence, and his talent for administration. His influence and reforms at the Admiralty were important in the early professionalisation of the Royal Navy. [2]

In my going I went by chance by my new Lord Mayor’s house ( Sir Richard Browne), by Goldsmith’s Hall, which is now fitting, and indeed is a very pretty house. Samuel Pepys wrote his famous diary between 1660 and 1669 . The diary is very interesting for historians as a source to find out about how people lived in the 17 th century and about some major events in the past. In it he famously describe d the Great Fire of London and the coronation of Charles II. Pepys' reference to purchasing the pornographic book L'Escole des Filles appears to be the first English reference to pornography. He writes in his diary that it was a "mighty lewd book," and burned it after reading it. [42] Text of the diary [ edit ] The procedure, described by Pepys as being "cut of the stone", was conducted without anaesthetics or antiseptics and involved restraining the patient with ropes and four strong men. The surgeon then made an incision along the perineum (between the scrotum and the anus), about three inches (8cm) long and deep enough to cut into the bladder. The stone was removed through this opening with pincers from below, assisted, from above, by a tool inserted into the bladder through the penis. A detailed description can be found in Tomalin (2002)Matthew, H. C. G.; Harrison, B.; Goldman, L., eds. (23 September 2004). "Pepys's servants". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (onlineed.).

Literally half an hour after having Rosie I was in my bed with her watching X-Factor with tea and toast.’ Sam previously revealed she would be opting for another home birth after successfully having one with Rosie in 2017. Pepys is significant for documenting an important span of the 17 th century, with detailed accounts of the Restoration, the plague of 1665-1666 and the great fire of London. Perhaps as importantly, he records fascinating details about everyday life in the capital during this time. On the 10 th April 1663 he writes:Sir Richard Pepys, M.P. for Sudbury and Lord Chief Justice of Ireland (1589–1659)(1) + (1620)+ Judith Cutte(2) + Mary Gosnold A testator might add one or more codicils at a later date to alter the terms of their will or to make arrangements if they had acquired further property.

Sadly, the demo ends right at that line. But it's definitely worth a play / read. Also like how the environment changes as you read.
