Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface THE following sketch of Samuel Pepys is based, as will be evident, entirely on published materials. I have throughout used Mr. H. B. Wheatley sedition of the Diary (first published 1893-99, and re-issued in a smaller form in 1904), the only one which approaches completeness. Large portions of the manuscript were omitted in the various editions published by Lord Braybrooke between 1825 and 1854, and that of the Rev. Mynors Bright (1875-79), though fuller, gave only about four-fifths of the whole Diary. Mr. Wheatley published it in its entirety with the exception of a certain number of passages judged impossible to print. I have also depended much upon two other publications of his, Samuel Pepys and the World he lived in (1880), and Pepysiana (1899). To Mr.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an intimate portrait of Samuel Pepys, a man of consequence living in 17th century England. At the heart of the narrative is Pepys's Diary, a remarkable and candid record of his life, which provides an unparalleled glimpse into the personal and political landscape of Restoration England. Pepys himself was a complex and compelling figure, a man of humble origins who rose through the ranks of the Royal Navy, eventually becoming Clerk of the Acts. Despite his professional success, Pepys was deeply human, a man of contradictions and vulnerabilities, who was at once ambitious and insecure, worldly and devout. Through Pepys's writings, the book gives readers a vivid sense of the sights, sounds, and preoccupations of life in 17th century England. As well as capturing the textures of daily life, the book also delves into the major political and social issues of the time, such as the Restoration of the monarchy, the Great Fire of London, and the Anglo-Dutch wars. It is a work that offers a fascinating window into the past, providing insights into not only the life of Samuel Pepys but also the wider world in which he lived. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331624882_0
