1825 The Miscellaneous Writings of John Evelyn Esq. F.R.S
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
Evelyn is mostly known for his diaries or Memoirs, which are largely contemporaneous with those of the other noted diarist of the time, Samuel Pepys, and cast considerable light on the art, culture and politics of the time (he witnessed the deaths of Charles I and Oliver Cromwell, the last Great Plague of London, and the Great Fire of London in 1666). Over the years, Evelyn’s Diary has been over-shadowed by Pepys's chronicles of 17th-century life though they both portray very different aspects of these spectacular events. Dedicated to Charles Hampden Turner Esq. F.R.S with illustrations and includes a frontispiece of a facsimile of a letter written by Evelyn.
