    Description

    An Important Work, Publishers' Original Binding

    Uncommon edition in four volumes of the famed diary of Samuel Pepys which he kept from 1659 to 1669.

    They are recognised to this day as an important primary source for the Restoration period as they contain personal revelations and a witness of important events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War, and the Great Fire of London. 

    Verbatim reprint of the edition of 1848-1849 with a copious index, with a life and notes by Richard Lord Braybrooke. 

    Condition

    In the original publisher's uniform duo-cloth bindings with gilt detail to spine. Externally very smart with minor shelf wear, minor bumping to head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Spotting to fore edge scattered to leaves.

    Very Good
