+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts.  We need
+funding, as well as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain
+or increase our production and reach our goals.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+(Three Pages)

+***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START***
+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.

+                                  1668
+
+
+August 1st.  All the morning at the office.  After dinner my wife, and
+Deb., and I, to the King's house again, coming too late yesterday to hear
+the prologue, and do like the play better now than before; and, indeed,
+there is a great deal of true wit in it,
+
+     [Alexander Pope definition of 'True Wit':
+
+              "Nature to advantage dress'd,
+               What has oft' been thought,
+               But ne'r so well express'd."
+
+                                        D.W.]
+
+more than in the common sort of plays, and so home to my business, and at
+night to bed, my eyes making me sad.
+
+
+
+2nd. (Lord's day).  Up and at home all the morning, hanging, and removing
+of some pictures, in my study and house.  At noon Pelling dined with me.
+After dinner, I and Tom, my boy, by water up to Putney, and there heard a
+sermon, and many fine people in the church.  Thence walked to Barne
+Elmes, and there, and going and coming, did make the boy read to me
+several things, being now-a-days unable to read myself anything, for
+above two lines together, but my eyes grow weary.  Home about night, and
+so to supper and then to bed.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up, and by water to White Hall and St. James's, where I did much
+business, and about noon meeting Dr. Gibbons, carried him to the Sun
+taverne, in King Street, and there made him, and some friends of his,
+drink; among others, Captain Silas Taylor, and here did get Gibbons to
+promise me some things for my flageolets.  So to the Old Exchange, and
+then home to dinner, and so, Mercer dining with us, I took my wife and
+her and Deb. out to Unthanke's, while I to White Hall to the
+Commissioners of the Treasury, and so back to them and took them out to
+Islington, where we met with W. Joyce and his wife and boy, and there eat
+and drank, and a great deal of his idle talk, and so we round by Hackney
+home, and so to sing a little in the garden, and then to bed.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up, and to my office a little, and then to White Hall about a
+Committee for Tangier at my Lord Arlington's, where, by Creed's being out
+of town, I have the trouble given me of drawing up answers to the
+complaints of the Turks of Algiers, and so I have all the papers put into
+my hand.  Here till noon, and then back to the Office, where sat a
+little, and then to dinner, and presently to the office, where come to me
+my Lord Bellassis, Lieutenant-Colonell Fitzgerald, newly come from
+Tangier, and Sir Arthur Basset, and there I received their informations,
+and so, they being gone, I with my clerks and another of Lord
+Brouncker's, Seddon, sat up till two in the morning, drawing up my
+answers and writing them fair, which did trouble me mightily to sit
+up so long, because of my eyes.
+
+
+
+5th.  So to bed about two o'clock, and then up about seven and to White
+Hall, where read over my report to Lord Arlington and Berkeley, and then
+afterward at the Council Board with great good liking, but, Lord! how it
+troubled my eyes, though I did not think I could have done it, but did do
+it, and was not very bad afterward.  So home to dinner, and thence out to
+the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "The Guardian;" formerly the
+same, I find, that was called "Cutter of Coleman Street;" a silly play.
+And thence to Westminster Hall, where I met Fitzgerald; and with him to
+a tavern, to consider of the instructions for Sir Thomas Allen, against
+his going to Algiers; he and I being designed to go down to Portsmouth by
+the Council's order, and by and by he and I went to the Duke of York, who
+orders me to go down to-morrow morning.  So I away home, and there
+bespeak a coach; and so home and to bed, my wife being abroad with the
+Mercers walking in the fields, and upon the water.
+
+
+
+6th.  Waked betimes, and my wife, at an hour's warning, is resolved to go
+with me, which pleases me, her readiness.  But, before ready, comes a
+letter from Fitzgerald, that he is seized upon last night by an order of
+the General's by a file of musqueteers, and kept prisoner in his chamber.
+The Duke of York did tell me of it to-day: it is about a quarrel between.
+him and Witham, and they fear a challenge: so I to him, and sent my wife
+by the coach round to Lambeth.  I lost my labour going to his lodgings,
+and he in bed: and, staying a great while for him, I at last grew
+impatient, and would stay no longer; but to St. James's to Mr. Wren, to
+bid him "God be with you!" and so over the water to Fox Hall; and there
+my wife and Deb. come and took me up, and we away to Gilford, losing our
+way for three or four mile, about Cobham.  At Gilford we dined; and, I
+shewed them the hospitall there of Bishop Abbot's, and his tomb in the
+church, which, and the rest of the tombs there, are kept mighty clean and
+neat, with curtains before them.  So to coach again, and got to Lippock,2
+late over Hindhead, having an old man, a guide, in the coach with us; but
+got thither with great fear of being out of our way, it being ten at
+night.  Here good, honest people; and after supper, to bed .  .  .  .
+
+
+
+7th.  Up, and to coach, and with a guide to Petersfield, where I find Sir
+Thomas Allen and Mr. Tippets come; the first about the business, the
+latter only in respect to me; as also Fitzgerald, who come post all last
+night, and newly arrived here.  We four sat down presently to our
+business, and in an hour despatched all our talk; and did inform Sir
+Thomas Allen well in it, who, I perceive, in serious matters, is a
+serious man: and tells me he wishes all we are told be true, in our
+defence; for he finds by all, that the Turks have, to this day, been
+very civil to our merchant-men everywhere; and, if they would have broke
+with us, they never had such an opportunity over our rich merchant-men,
+as lately, coming out of the Streights.  Then to dinner, and pretty
+merry: and here was Mr. Martin, the purser, and dined with us, and wrote
+some things for us.  And so took coach again back; Fitzgerald with us,
+whom I was pleased with all the day, with his discourse of his
+observations abroad, as being a great soldier and of long standing
+abroad: and knows all things and persons abroad very well--I mean, the
+great soldiers of France, and Spain, and Germany; and talks very well.
+Come at night to Gilford, where the Red Lyon so full of people, and a
+wedding, that the master of the house did get us a lodging over the way,
+at a private house, his landlord's, mighty neat and fine; and there
+supped and talked with the landlord and his wife: and so to bed with
+great content, only Fitzgerald lay at the Inne.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up, and I walked out, and met Uncle Wight, whom I sent to last
+night, and Mr. Wight coming to see us, and I walked with them back to see
+my aunt at Katherine Hill, and there walked up and down the hill and
+places, about: but a dull place, but good ayre, and the house dull.  But
+here I saw my aunt, after many days not seeing her--I think, a year or
+two; and she walked with me to see my wife.  And here, at the Red Lyon,
+we all dined together, and mighty merry, and then parted: and we home to
+Fox Hall, where Fitzgerald and I 'light, and by water to White Hall,
+where the Duke of York being abroad, I by coach and met my wife, who went
+round, and after doing at the office a little, and finding all well at
+home, I to bed.  I hear that Colbert,
+
+     [Charles Colbert, Marquis de Croissy, brother of Jean Baptiste
+     Colbert, the great minister.--B.--(Who knew enough not to flaunt
+     his greatness as did his predecessor Fouguet.--D.W.)]
+
+the French Ambassador, is come, and hath been at Court incognito.  When
+he hath his audience, I know not.
+
+
+
+9th (Lord's day).  Up, and walked to Holborne, where got John Powell's
+coach at the Black Swan, and he attended me at St. James's, where waited
+on the Duke of York: and both by him and several of the Privy-Council,
+beyond expectation, I find that my going to Sir Thomas Allen was looked
+upon as a thing necessary: and I have got some advantage by it, among
+them.  Thence to White Hall, and thence to visit Lord Brouncker, and back
+to White Hall, where saw the Queen and ladies; and so, with Mr. Slingsby,
+to Mrs. Williams's, thinking to dine with Lord Brouncker there, but did
+not, having promised my wife to come home, though here I met Knepp,
+to my great content.  So home; and, after dinner, I took my wife and Deb.
+round by Hackney, and up and down to take the ayre; and then home, and
+made visits to Mrs. Turner, and Mrs. Mercer, and Sir W. Pen, who is come
+from Epsom not well, and Sir J. Minnes, who is not well neither.  And so
+home to supper, and to set my books a little right, and then to bed.
+This day Betty Michell come and dined with us, the first day after her
+lying in, whom I was glad to see.
+
+
+
+10th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and thence to Sir W. Coventry,
+but he is gone out of town this morning, so thence to my Lord Arlington's
+house, the first time I there since he come thither, at Goring House,
+a very fine, noble place; and there he received me in sight of several
+Lords with great respect.  I did give him an account of my journey; and
+here, while I waited for him a little, my Lord Orrery took notice of me,
+and begun discourse of hangings, and of the improvement of shipping:
+I not thinking that he knew me, but did then discover it, with a mighty
+compliment of my abilities and ingenuity, which I am mighty proud of; and
+he do speak most excellently.  Thence to Westminster Hall, and so by
+coach to the old Exchange, and there did several businesses, and so home
+to dinner, and then abroad to Duck Lane, where I saw my belle femme of
+the book vendor, but had no opportunity para hazer con her.  So away to
+Cooper's, where I spent all the afternoon with my wife and girl, seeing
+him-make an end of her picture, which he did Jo my great content, though
+not so great as, I confess, I expected, being not satisfied in the
+greatness of the resemblance, nor in the blue garment: but it is most
+certainly a most rare piece of work, as to the painting.  He hath L30
+for his work--and the chrystal, and case, and gold case comes to L8 3s.
+4d.; and which I sent him this night, that I might be out of debt.
+Thence my people home, and I to Westminster Hall about a little business,
+and so by water home [to] supper, and my wife to read a ridiculous book
+I bought today of the History of the Taylors' Company,
+
+     [The title of this book was, "The Honour of the Merchant Taylors."
+     Wherein is set forth the noble acts, valliant deeds, and heroick
+     performances of Merchant Taylors in former ages; their honourable
+     loves, and knightly adventures, their combating of foreign enemies
+     and glorious successes in honour of the English nation: together
+     with their pious....]
+
+and all the while Deb. did comb my head, and I did toker her with my main
+para very great pleasure, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  Up, and by water to Sir W. Coventry to visit him, whom I find yet
+troubled at the Commissioners of Accounts, about this business of Sir
+W. Warren, which is a ridiculous thing, and can come to nothing but
+contempt, and thence to Westminster Hall, where the Parliament met enough
+to adjourne, which they did, to the 10th of November next, and so by
+water home to the office, and so to dinner, and thence at the Office all
+the afternoon till night, being mightily pleased with a little trial I
+have made of the use of a tube-spectacall of paper, tried with my right
+eye.  This day I hear that, to the great joy of the Nonconformists, the
+time is out of the Act against them, so that they may meet: and they have
+declared that they will have a morning lecture
+
+     [During the troubled reign of Charles I., the House of Commons gave
+     parishioners the right of appointing lecturers at the various
+     churches without the consent of rector or vicar, and this naturally
+     gave rise to many quarrels.  In the early period of the war between
+     the king and the parliament, a course of sermons or lectures was
+     projected in aid of the parliamentary cause.  These lectures, which
+     were preached by eminent Presbyterian divines at seven o'clock on
+     the Sunday mornings, were commenced in the church of St. Mary
+     Magdalen in Milk Street, but were soon afterwards removed to St.
+     Giles's, Cripplegate.  After the Restoration the lectures were
+     collected in four volumes, and published under the title of the
+     "Cripplegate Morning Exercises," vol. i. in 1661; vol. ii. in 1674;
+     vol. iii. in 1682; and vol. iv. in 1690.  In addition there were two
+     volumes which form a supplement to the work, viz., "The Morning
+     Exercises methodized," preached at St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, edited
+     by the Rev. Thomas Case in 1660, and the "Exercises against Popery,"
+     preached in Southwark, and published in 1675 (see Demon's "Records
+     of St. Giles's, Crinnlegate," 1883, pp. 55-56).]
+
+up again, which is pretty strange; and they are connived at by the King
+every where, I hear, in City and country.  So to visit W. Pen, who is yet
+ill, and then home, where W. Batelier and Mrs. Turner come and sat and
+supped with us, and so they gone we to bed.  This afternoon my wife, and
+Mercer, and Deb., went with Pelting to see the gypsies at Lambeth, and
+have their fortunes told; but what they did, I did not enquire.
+
+
+
+12th.  Up, and all the morning busy at my office.  Thence to the Excise
+Office, and so to the Temple to take counsel about Major Nicholls's
+business for the King.  So to several places about business, and among
+others to Drumbleby's about the mouths for my paper tubes, and so to the
+'Change and home.  Met Captain Cocke, who tells me that he hears for
+certain the Duke of York will lose the authority of an Admiral, and be
+governed by a Committee: and all our Office changed; only they are in
+dispute whether I shall continue or no, which puts new thoughts in me,
+but I know not whether to be glad or sorry.  Home to dinner, where
+Pelting dines with us, and brings some partridges, which is very good
+meat; and, after dinner, I, and wife, and Mercer, and Deb., to the Duke
+of York's house, and saw "Mackbeth," to our great content, and then home,
+where the women went to the making of my tubes, and I to the office, and
+then come Mrs. Turner and her husband to advise about their son, the
+Chaplain, who is turned out of his ship, a sorrow to them, which I am
+troubled for, and do give them the best advice I can, and so they gone we
+to bed.
+
+
+
+13th.  Up, and Greeting comes, and there he and I tried some things of
+Mr. Locke's for two flageolets, to my great content, and this day my wife
+begins again to learn of him; for I have a great mind for her to be able
+to play a part with me.  Thence I to the Office, where all the afternoon
+[morning??], and then to dinner, where W. Howe dined with me, who tells
+me for certain that Creed is like to speed in his match with Mrs. Betty
+Pickering.  Here dined with me also Mr. Hollier, who is mighty vain in
+his pretence to talk Latin.  So to the Office again all the afternoon
+till night, very busy, and so with much content home, and made my wife
+sing and play on the flageolet to me till I slept with great pleasure in
+bed.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up, and by water to White Hall and St. James's, and to see Sir W.
+Coventry, and discourse about business of our Office, telling him my
+trouble there, to see how things are ordered.  I told him also what Cocke
+told me the other day, but he says there is not much in it, though he do
+know that this hath been in the eye of some persons to compass for the
+turning all things in the navy, and that it looks so like a popular thing
+as that he thinks something may be done in it, but whether so general or
+no, as I tell it him, he knows not.  Thence to White Hall, and there wait
+at the Council-chamber door a good while, talking with one or other, and
+so home by water, though but for a little while, because I am to return
+to White Hall.  At home I find Symson, putting up my new chimney-piece,
+in our great chamber, which is very fine, but will cost a great deal of
+money, but it is not flung away.  So back to White Hall, and after the
+council up, I with Mr. Wren, by invitation, to Sir Stephen Fox's to
+dinner, where the Cofferer and Sir Edward Savage; where many good stories
+of the antiquity and estates of many families at this day in Cheshire,
+and that part of the kingdom, more than what is on this side, near
+London.  My Lady [Fox] dining with us; a very good lady, and a family
+governed so nobly and neatly as do me good to see it.  Thence the
+Cofferer, Sir Stephen, and I to the Commissioners of the Treasury about
+business: and so I up to the Duke of York, who enquired for what I had
+promised him, about my observations of the miscarriages of our Office;
+
+     [This refers to the letter on the affairs of the office which Pepys
+     prepared, and respecting which, and the proceedings which grew out
+     of it, so many references are made in future pages of the Diary.]
+
+and I told him he should have it next week, being glad he called for it;
+for I find he is concerned to do something, and to secure himself
+thereby, I believe: for the world is labouring to eclipse him, I doubt;
+I mean, the factious part of the Parliament.  The Office met this
+afternoon as usual, and waited on him; where, among other things,
+he talked a great while of his intentions of going to Dover soon,
+to be sworn as Lord Warden, which is a matter of great ceremony and
+state, and so to the Temple with Mr. Wren, to the Attorney's chamber,
+about business, but he abroad, and so I home, and there spent the evening
+talking with my wife and piping, and pleased with our chimney-piece,
+and so to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning busy, and after
+dinner with my wife, Mercer, and Deb., to the King's playhouse, and there
+saw "Love's Mistresse" revived, the thing pretty good, but full of
+variety of divertisement.  So home and to my business at the office,
+my eyes bad again, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+16th (Lord's day).  All the morning at my Office with W. Hewer, there
+drawing up my Report to the Duke of York, as I have promised, about the
+faults of this Office, hoping thereby to have opportunity of doing myself
+[something].  At noon to dinner, and again with him to work all the
+afternoon till night, till I was weary and had despatched a good deal of
+business, and so to bed after hearing my wife read a little.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and so to St. James's, and thence
+with Mr. Wren by appointment in his coach to Hampstead, to speak with the
+Atturney-general, whom we met in the fields, by his old route and house;
+and after a little talk about our business of Ackeworth, went and saw the
+Lord Wotton's house and garden, which is wonderfull fine: too good for
+the house the gardens are, being, indeed, the most noble that ever I saw,
+and brave orange and lemon trees.  Thence to Mr. Chichley's by
+invitation, and there dined with Sir John, his father not coming home.
+And while at dinner comes by the French Embassador Colbert's mules, the
+first I eversaw, with their sumpter-clothes mighty rich, and his coaches,
+he being to have his entry to-day: but his things, though rich, are not
+new; supposed to be the same his brother
+
+     [A mistake of Pepys's.  Colbert de Croissy, then in England, had
+     himself been the French Plenipotentiary at Aix-la-Chapelle.--B.]
+
+had the other day, at the treaty at Aix-la-Chapelle, in Flanders.  Thence
+to the Duke of York's house, and there saw "Cupid's Revenge," under the
+new name of "Love Despised," that hath something very good in it, though
+I like not the whole body of it.  This day the first time acted here.
+Thence home, and there with Mr. Hater and W. Hewer late, reading over all
+the principal officers' instructions in order to my great work upon my
+hand, and so to bed, my eyes very ill.
+
+
+
+18th.  Up, and to my office about my great business betimes, and so to
+the office, where all the morning.  At noon dined, and then to the office
+all the afternoon also, and in the evening to Sir W. Coventry's, but he
+not within, I took coach alone to the Park, to try to meet him there,
+but did not; but there were few coaches, but among the few there were
+in two coaches our two great beauties, my Lady Castlemayne and Richmond;
+the first time I saw the latter since she had the smallpox.  I had much
+pleasure to see them, but I thought they were strange one to another.
+Thence going out I met a coach going, which I thought had Knepp in it,
+so I went back, but it was not she.  So back to White Hall and there took
+water, and so home, and busy late about my great letter to the Duke of
+York, and so to supper and to bed .  .  .  .
+
+
+
+19th.  Up betimes, and all day and afternoon without going out, busy upon
+my great letter to the Duke of York, which goes on to my content.
+W. Hewer and Gibson I employ with me in it.  This week my people wash,
+over the water, and so I little company at home.  In the evening, being
+busy above, a great cry I hear, and go down; and what should it be but
+Jane, in a fit of direct raving, which lasted half-an-hour.  Beyond four
+or five of our strength to keep her down; and, when all come to all,
+a fit of jealousy about Tom, with whom she is in love.  So at night,
+I, and my wife, and W. Hewer called them to us, and there I did examine
+all the thing, and them, in league.  She in love, and he hath got her to
+promise him to marry, and he is now cold in it, so that I must rid my
+hands of them, which troubles me, and the more because my head is now
+busy upon other greater things.  I am vexed also to be told by W. Hewer
+that he is summoned to the Commissioners of Accounts about receiving a
+present of L30 from Mr. Mason, the timber merchant, though there be no
+harm in it, that will appear on his part, he having done them several
+lawful kindnesses and never demanded anything, as they themselves have
+this day declared to the Commissioners, they being forced up by the
+discovery of somebody that they in confidence had once told it to.
+So to supper vexed and my head full of care, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  Betimes at my business again, and so to the office, and dined with
+Brouncker and J. Minnes, at Sir W. Pen's at a bad pasty of venison, and
+so to work again, and at it till past twelve at night, that I might get
+my great letter
+
+     [In the Pepysian Library is a MS. (No. 2242), entitled, "Papers
+     conteyning my addresse to his Royall Highnesse James Duke of Yorke,
+     Lord High Admirall of England, &c., by letter dated the 20th of
+     August, 1668, humbly tendering him my advice touching the present
+     State of the Office of the Navy, with his Royall Highness's
+     proceedings upon the same, and their result."]
+
+to the Duke of York ready against to-morrow, which I shall do, to my
+great content.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+21st.  Up betimes, and with my people again to work, and finished all
+before noon: and then I by water to White Hall, and there did tell the
+Duke of York that I had done; and he hath to my great content desired me
+to come to him at Sunday next in the afternoon, to read it over, by which
+I have more time to consider and correct it.  So back home and to the
+'Change, in my way calling at Morris', my vintner's, where I love to see
+su moher, though no acquaintance accostais this day con her.  Did several
+things at the 'Change, and so home to dinner.  After dinner I by coach to
+my bookseller's in Duck Lane, and there did spend a little time and
+regarder su moher, and so to St. James's, where did a little ordinary
+business; and by and by comes Monsieur Colbert, the French Embassador,
+to make his first visit to the Duke of York, and then to the Duchess:
+and I saw it: a silly piece of ceremony, he saying only a few formal
+words.  A comely man, and in a black suit and cloak of silk, which is a
+strange fashion, now it hath been so long left off: This day I did first
+see the Duke of York's room of pictures of some Maids of Honour, done by
+Lilly: good, but not like.
+
+
+     [The set of portraits known as "King Charles's Beauties," formerly
+     in Windsor Castle, but now at Hampton Court.--B.]
+
+Thence to Reeves's, and bought a reading-glass, and so to my bookseller's
+again, there to buy a Book of Martyrs,
+
+     [The popular name of John Fox's "Acts and Monuments," first
+     published in 1562-63.]
+
+which I did agree for; and so, after seeing and beginning acquaintance
+con his femme, but very little, away home, and there busy very late at
+the correcting my great letter to the Duke of York, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up betimes, at it again with great content, and so to the Office,
+where all the morning, and did fall out with W. Pen about his slight
+performance of his office, and so home to dinner, fully satisfied that
+this Office must sink or the whole Service be undone.  To the office all
+the afternoon again, and then home to supper and to bed, my mind being
+pretty well at ease, my great letter being now finished to my full
+content; and I thank God I have opportunity of doing it, though I know it
+will set the Office and me by the ears for ever.  This morning Captain
+Cocke comes, and tells me that he is now assured that it is true, what he
+told me the other day, that our whole Office will be turned out, only me,
+which, whether he says true or no, I know not, nor am much concerned,
+though I should be better contented to have it thus than otherwise.  This
+afternoon, after I was weary in my business of the office, I went forth
+to the 'Change, thinking to have spoke with Captain Cocke, but he was not
+within.  So I home, and took London-bridge in my way; walking down Fish
+Street and Gracious Street, to see how very fine a descent they have now
+made down the hill, that it is become very easy and pleasant, and going
+through Leaden-Hall, it being market-day, I did see a woman catched, that
+had stolen a shoulder of mutton off of a butcher's stall, and carrying it
+wrapt up in a cloth, in a basket.  The jade was surprised, and did not
+deny it, and the woman so silly, as to let her go that took it, only
+taking the meat.
+
+
+
+23rd (Lord's day).  Up betimes, my head busy in my great letter, and I
+did first hang up my new map of Paris in my green room, and changed
+others in other places.  Then to Captain Cocke's, thinking to have talked
+more of what he told me yesterday, but he was not within.  So back to
+church, and heard a good sermon of Mr. Gifford's at our church, upon
+"Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness, and all these
+things shall be added to you."  A very excellent and persuasive, good and
+moral sermon.  Shewed, like a wise man, that righteousness is a surer
+moral way of being rich, than sin and villainy.  Then home to dinner,
+where Mr. Pelting, who brought us a hare, which we had at dinner, and W.
+Howe.  After dinner to the Office, Mr. Gibson and I, to examine my letter
+to the Duke of York, which, to my great joy, I did very well by my paper
+tube, without pain to my eyes.  And I do mightily like what I have
+therein done; and did, according to the Duke of York's order, make haste
+to St. James's, and about four o'clock got thither: and there the Duke of
+York was ready, to expect me, and did hear it all over with extraordinary
+content; and did give me many and hearty thanks, and in words the most
+expressive tell me his sense of my good endeavours, and that he would
+have a care of me on all occasions; and did, with much inwardness,--
+[i.e., intimacy.]--tell me what was doing, suitable almost to what
+Captain Cocke tells me, of designs to make alterations in the Navy; and
+is most open to me in them, and with utmost confidence desires my further
+advice on all occasions: and he resolves to have my letter transcribed,
+and sent forthwith to the Office.  So, with as much satisfaction as I
+could possibly, or did hope for, and obligation on the Duke of York's
+side professed to me, I away into the Park, and there met Mr. Pierce and
+his wife, and sister and brother, and a little boy, and with them to
+Mulberry Garden, and spent I 18s. on them, and there left them, she being
+again with child, and by it, the least pretty that ever I saw her.
+And so I away, and got a coach, and home, and there with my wife and
+W. Hewer, talking all the evening, my mind running on the business of the
+Office, to see what more I can do to the rendering myself acceptable and
+useful to all and to the King.  We to supper, and to bed.
+
+
+
+24th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning upon considerations
+on the Victualler's contract, and then home to dinner, where my wife is
+upon hanging the long chamber where the girl lies, with the sad stuff
+that was in the best chamber, in order to the hanging that with tapestry.
+So to dinner, and then to the office again, where all the afternoon till
+night, we met to discourse upon the alterations which are propounded to
+be made in the draft of the victualler's contract which we did lately
+make, and then we being up comes Mr. Child, Papillion and Littleton, his
+partners, to discourse upon the matter with me, which I did, and spent
+all the evening with them at the office, and so, they being gone, I to
+supper and talk with my wife, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  Up, and by water to St. James's, and there, with Mr. Wren, did
+discourse about my great letter, which the Duke of York hath given him:
+and he hath set it to be transcribed by Billings, his man, whom, as he
+tells me, he can most confide in for secresy, and is much pleased with
+it, and earnest to have it be; and he and I are like to be much together
+in the considering how to reform the Office, and that by the Duke of
+York's command.  Thence I, mightily pleased with this success, away to
+the Office, where all the morning, my head full of this business.  And it
+is pretty how Lord Brouncker this day did tell me how he hears that a
+design is on foot to remove us out of the Office: and proposes that we
+two do agree to draw up a form of a new constitution of the Office, there
+to provide remedies for the evils we are now under, so that we may be
+beforehand with the world, which I agreed to, saying nothing of my
+design; and, the truth is, he is the best man of them all, and I would be
+glad, next myself, to save him; for, as he deserves best, so I doubt he
+needs his place most.  So home to dinner at noon, and all the afternoon
+busy at the office till night, and then with my mind full of business now
+in my head, I to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning almost, busy about
+business against the afternoon, and we met a little to sign two or three
+things at the Board of moment, and thence at noon home to dinner, and so
+away to White Hall by water.  In my way to the Old Swan, finding a great
+many people gathered together in Cannon Street about a man that was
+working in the ruins, and the ground did sink under him, and he sunk in,
+and was forced to be dug out again, but without hurt.  Thence to White
+Hall, and it is strange to say with what speed the people employed do
+pull down Paul's steeple, and with what ease: it is said that it, and the
+choir are to be taken down this year, and another church begun in the
+room thereof, the next.  At White Hall we met at the Treasury chamber,
+and there before the Lords did debate our draft of the victualling
+contract with the several bidders for it, which were Sir D. Gawden, Mr.
+Child and his fellows, and Mr. Dorrington and his, a poor variety in a
+business of this value.  There till after candle-lighting, and so home by
+coach with Sir D. Gawden, who, by the way, tells me how the City do go on
+in several things towards the building of the public places, which I am
+glad to hear; and gives hope that in a few years it will be a glorious
+place; but we met with several stops and new troubles in the way in the
+streets, so as makes it bad to travel in the dark now through the City.
+So I to Mr. Batelier's by appointment, where I find my wife, and Deb.,
+and Mercer; Mrs. Pierce and her husband, son, and daughter; and Knepp and
+Harris, and W. Batelier, and his sister Mary, and cozen Gumbleton, a
+good-humoured, fat young gentleman, son to the jeweller, that dances
+well; and here danced all night long, with a noble supper; and about two
+in the morning the table spread again for a noble breakfast beyond all
+moderation, that put me out of countenance, so much and so good.  Mrs.
+Pierce and her people went home betimes, she being big with child; but
+Knepp and the rest staid till almost three in the morning, and then broke
+up.
+
+
+
+27th.  Knepp home with us, and I to bed, and rose about six, mightily
+pleased with last night's mirth, and away by water to St. James's, and
+there, with Mr. Wren, did correct his copy of my letter, which the Duke
+of York hath signed in my very words, without alteration of a syllable.
+
+     [A copy of this letter is in the British Museum, Harl.  MS. 6003.
+     See July 24th, ante, and August 29th, Post.  In the Pepysian
+     Collection are the following: An Inquisition, by his Royal Highness
+     the Duke of York, when Lord High Admiral of England, into the
+     Management of the Navy, 1668, with his Regulations thereon, fol.
+     Also Mr. Pepys's Defence of the same upon an Inquisition thereunto
+     by Parliament, 1669, fol.--B.]
+
+And so pleased therewith, I to my Lord Brouncker, who I find within, but
+hath business, and so comes not to the Office to-day.  And so I by water
+to the Office, where we sat all the morning; and, just as the Board
+rises, comes the Duke of York's letter, which I knowing, and the Board
+not being full, and desiring rather to have the Duke of York deliver it
+himself to us, I suppressed it for this day, my heart beginning to
+falsify in this business, as being doubtful of the trouble it may give me
+by provoking them; but, however, I am resolved to go through it, and it
+is too late to help it now.  At noon to dinner to Captain Cocke's, where
+I met with Mr. Wren; my going being to tell him what I have done, which
+he likes, and to confer with Cocke about our Office; who tells me that he
+is confident the design of removing our Officers do hold, but that he is
+sure that I am safe enough.  Which pleases me, though I do not much shew
+it to him, but as a thing indifferent.  So away home, and there met at
+Sir Richard Ford's with the Duke of York's Commissioners about our
+Prizes, with whom we shall have some trouble before we make an end with
+them, and hence, staying a little with them, I with my wife, and W.
+Batelier, and Deb.; carried them to Bartholomew Fayre, where we saw the
+dancing of the ropes and nothing else, it being late, and so back home to
+supper and to bed, after having done at my office.
+
+
+
+28th.  Busy at the office till toward 10 o'clock, and then by water to
+White Hall, where attending the Council's call all the morning with Lord
+Brouncker, W. Pen, and the rest, about the business of supernumeraries in
+the fleete, but were not called in.  But here the Duke of York did call
+me aside, and told me that he must speak with me in the afternoon, with
+Mr. Wren, for that now he hath got the paper from my Lord Keeper about
+the exceptions taken against the management of the Navy; and so we are to
+debate upon answering them.  At noon I home with W. Coventry to his
+house; and there dined with him, and talked freely with him; and did
+acquaint him with what I have done, which he is well pleased with, and
+glad of: and do tell me that there are endeavours on foot to bring the
+Navy into new, but, he fears, worse hands.  After much talk with great
+content with him, I walked to the Temple, and staid at Starky's, my
+bookseller's (looking over Dr. Heylin's new book of the Life of Bishop
+Laud, a strange book of the Church History of his time), till Mr. Wren
+comes, and by appointment we to the Atturney General's chamber, and there
+read and heard the witnesses in the business of Ackeworth, most
+troublesome and perplexed by the counter swearing of the witnesses one
+against the other, and so with Mr. Wren away thence to St. [James's] for
+his papers, and so to White Hall, and after the Committee was done at the
+Council chamber about the business of Supernumeraries, wherein W. Pen was
+to do all and did, but like an ignorant illiterate coxcomb, the Duke of
+York fell to work with us, the Committee being gone, in the Council-
+chamber; and there, with his own hand, did give us his long letter,
+telling us that he had received several from us, and now did give us one
+from him, taking notice of our several duties and failures, and desired
+answer to it, as he therein desired; this pleased me well; and so fell to
+other business, and then parted.  And the Duke of York, and Wren, and I,
+it being now candle-light, into the Duke of York's closet in White Hall;
+and there read over this paper of my Lord Keeper's, wherein are laid down
+the faults of the Navy, so silly, and the remedies so ridiculous, or else
+the same that are now already provided, that we thought it not to need
+any answer, the Duke of York being able himself to do it: that so it
+makes us admire the confidence of these men to offer things so silly,
+in a business of such moment.  But it is a most perfect instance of the
+complexion of the times! and so the Duke of York said himself, who, I
+perceive, is mightily concerned in it, and do, again and again, recommend
+it to Mr. Wren and me together, to consider upon remedies fit to provide
+for him to propound to the King, before the rest of the world, and
+particularly the Commissioners of Accounts, who are men of understanding
+and order, to find our faults, and offer remedies of their own, which I
+am glad of, and will endeavour to do something in it.  So parted, and
+with much difficulty, by candle-light, walked over the Matted Gallery, as
+it is now with the mats and boards all taken up, so that we walked over
+the rafters.  But strange to see what hard matter the plaister of Paris
+is, that is there taken up, as hard as stone!  And pity to see Holben's
+work in the ceiling blotted on, and only whited over!  Thence; with much
+ado, by several coaches home, to supper and to bed.  My wife having been
+this day with Hales, to sit for her hand to be mended, in her picture.
+
+
+
+29th.  Up, and all the morning at the Office, where the Duke of York's
+long letter was read, to their great trouble, and their suspecting me to
+have been the writer of it.  And at noon comes, by appointment, Harris to
+dine with me and after dinner he and I to Chyrurgeon's-hall, where they
+are building it new, very fine; and there to see their theatre; which
+stood all the fire, and, which was our business, their great picture of
+Holben's, thinking to have bought it, by the help of Mr. Pierce, for a
+little money: I did think to give L200 for it, it being said to be worth
+L1000; but it is so spoiled that I have no mind to it, and is not a
+pleasant, though a good picture.  Thence carried Harris to his playhouse,
+where, though four o'clock, so few people there at "The Impertinents," as
+I went out; and do believe they did not act, though there was my Lord
+Arlington and his company there.  So I out, and met my wife in a coach,
+and stopped her going thither to meet me; and took her, and Mercer, and
+Deb., to Bartholomew Fair, and there did see a ridiculous, obscene little
+stage-play, called "Marry Andrey;" a foolish thing, but seen by every
+body; and so to Jacob Hall's dancing of the ropes; a thing worth seeing,
+and mightily followed, and so home and to the office, and then to bed.
+Writing to my father to-night not to unfurnish our house in the country
+for my sister, who is going to her own house, because I think I may have
+occasion myself to come thither; and so I do, by our being put out of the
+Office, which do not at all trouble me to think of.
+
+
+
+30th (Lord's day).  Walked to St. James's and Pell Mell, and read over,
+with Sir W. Coventry, my long letter to the Duke of York, and which the
+Duke of York hath, from mine, wrote to the Board, wherein he is mightily
+pleased, and I perceive do put great value upon me, and did talk very
+openly on all matters of State, and how some people have got the bit into
+their mouths, meaning the Duke of Buckingham and his party, and would
+likely run away with all.  But what pleased me mightily was to hear the
+good character he did give of my Lord Falmouth for his generosity, good-
+nature, desire of public good, and low thoughts of his own wisdom; his
+employing his interest in the King to do good offices to all people,
+without any other fault than the freedom he, do learn in France of
+thinking himself obliged to serve his King in his pleasures: and was
+W. Coventry's particular friend: and W. Coventry do tell me very odde
+circumstances about the fatality of his death, which are very strange.
+Thence to White Hall to chapel, and heard the anthem, and did dine with
+the Duke of Albemarle in a dirty manner as ever.  All the afternoon,
+I sauntered up and down the house and Park.  And there was a Committee
+for Tangier met, wherein Lord Middleton would, I think, have found fault
+with me for want of coles; but I slighted it, and he made nothing of it,
+but was thought to be drunk; and I see that he hath a mind to find fault
+with me and Creed, neither of us having yet applied ourselves to him
+about anything: but do talk of his profits and perquisites taken from
+him, and garrison reduced, and that it must be increased, and such
+things, as; I fear, he will be just such another as my Lord Tiviott and
+the rest, to ruin that place.  So I to the Park, and there walk an hour
+or two; and in the King's garden, and saw the Queen and ladies walk; and
+I did steal some apples off the trees; and here did see my Lady Richmond,
+who is of a noble person as ever I saw, but her face worse than it was
+considerably by the smallpox: her sister' is also very handsome.  Coming
+into the Park, and the door kept strictly, I had opportunity of handing
+in the little, pretty, squinting girl of the Duke of York's house, but
+did not make acquaintance with her; but let her go, and a little girl
+that was with her, to walk by themselves.  So to White Hall in the
+evening, to the Queen's side, and there met the Duke of York; and he did
+tell me and W. Coventry, who was with me, how that Lord Anglesey did take
+notice of our reading his long and sharp letter to the Board; but that it
+was the better, at least he said so.  The Duke of York, I perceive, is
+earnest in it, and will have good effects of it; telling W. Coventry that
+it was a letter that might have come from the Commissioners of Accounts,
+but it was better it should come first from him.  I met Lord Brouncker,
+who, I perceive, and the rest, do smell that it comes from me, but dare
+not find fault with it; and I am glad of it, it being my glory and
+defence that I did occasion and write it.  So by water home, and did
+spend the evening with W. Hewer, telling him how we are all like to be
+turned out, Lord Brouncker telling me this evening that the Duke of
+Buckingham did, within few hours, say that he had enough to turn us all
+out which I am not sorry for at all, for I know the world will judge me
+to go for company; and my eyes are such as I am not able to do the
+business of my Office as I used, and would desire to do, while I am in
+it.  So with full content, declaring all our content in being released of
+my employment, my wife and I to bed, and W. Hewer home, and so all to
+bed.
+
+
+
+31st.  Up, and to my office, there to set my journal for all the last
+week, and so by water to Westminster to the Exchequer, and thence to the
+Swan, and there drank and did baiser la fille there, and so to the New
+Exchange and paid for some things, and so to Hercules Pillars,' and there
+dined all alone, while I sent my shoe to have the heel fastened at
+Wotton's, and thence to White Hall to the Treasury chamber, where did a
+little business, and thence to the Duke of York's playhouse and there met
+my wife and Deb. and Mary Mercer and Batelier, where also W. Hewer was,
+and saw "Hamlet," which we have not seen this year before, or more; and
+mightily pleased with it; but, above all, with Betterton, the best part
+I believe, that ever man acted.  Thence to the Fayre, and saw
+"Polichinelle," and so home, and after a little supper to bed.  This
+night lay the first night in Deb.'s chamber, which is now hung with that
+that hung our great chamber, and is now a very handsome room.  This day
+Mrs. Batelier did give my wife a mighty pretty Spaniel bitch [Flora],
+which she values mightily, and is pretty; but as a new comer, I cannot
+be fond of her.
