Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1660 N.S." by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the 17th century. This work provides an intimate glimpse into the daily life and significant events of Samuel Pepys, who was a prominent figure during the English Restoration period and served as Secretary to the Admiralty. The diary details his personal experiences, observations of societal changes, and involvement in historical events, including naval matters and political turmoil. At the start of the diary, Pepys reflects on his health and domestic life at the end of the previous year, expressing hopes for his wife's pregnancy, which ultimately does not come to fruition. He outlines the political climate in England, noting the disturbances within the Rump Parliament and the turbulence of military leaders such as Lord Lambert and Sir John Lawson. The opening sets a foundation for what promises to be an insightful account of Pepys's interactions with the tumultuous political environment and the society surrounding him, framing a narrative that balances personal aspirations with grand historical events.
