The Diary of John Evelyn (Volume 1 of 2) by John Evelyn

"The Diary of John Evelyn (Volume 1 of 2)" by John Evelyn is a diary first published in 1818. This chronicle spans from 1640 to 1706, documenting the life of a Royalist gentleman and virtuoso through decades of English history. Beginning when Evelyn was a student at the Middle Temple, the entries blend contemporary observations with later reflections compiled from notes. His travels, encounters, and experiences offer a window into seventeenth-century life, creating a work that would later inspire attention to Samuel Pepys's more famous diary.
