Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. The Diary of John Evelyn, Esq., F.R.S. From 1641 to 1705-6 with Memoir (1890 Hardcover without Dust Jacket) Diary of one of the first Englishmen who traveled for the joy of it. Vivid descriptions of Europe in the late 17th & early 18th century. Edited By William Bray, Esq., Fellow and Treasurer of the Society of Antiquaries of London. John Evelyn, FRS (1620--1706) was an English writer, gardener and diarist. Evelyn's diaries, or memoirs, are largely contemporaneous with those of his rival diarist, Samuel Pepys, and cast considerable light on the art, culture and politics of the time (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 overshadowed by Pepys's chronicles of 17th-century life. You decide. xvi + 17-619 pages.
