Synopsis

The Diary of Henry Teonge is a historical book that details the experiences of Henry Teonge, a chaplain who served on board three of H.M.'s ships - Assistance, Bristol, and Royal Oak - between 1675 and 1679. The diary is a first-hand account of life at sea during the late seventeenth century, and provides a fascinating insight into the daily routines, challenges, and adventures faced by sailors during this period.Teonge's diary is a unique and valuable historical document, as it offers a rare glimpse into the world of naval chaplaincy and the role of religion in the lives of sailors. The book covers a wide range of topics, including Teonge's religious duties, the weather and sea conditions, encounters with pirates and other ships, and the daily life of the crew.Throughout the diary, Teonge provides vivid descriptions of the people he meets, the places he visits, and the events he witnesses. His writing is lively and engaging, and he has a keen eye for detail, which makes the book an enjoyable and informative read.Overall, The Diary of Henry Teonge is a fascinating historical account that will appeal to anyone interested in naval history, religion, or the social and cultural history of seventeenth-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1927. 'This diary is history' The Observer
This is the first complete published edition of Teonge's Diary. The edition of 1825, besides omitting several passages, contained many faulty transcriptions which have now been corrected for this edition. An intensely human document, enlivened with sketches of the people he met and places he visited, Teonge's Diary is one of the finest accounts of life on board ship in the seventeenth century. When not at sea, Henry Teonge's life was as a parson and this edition of his Diary includes a full inventory for his Parish, providing an excellent source of historical and social information on rural life in the late 1600s.
