Pepys's Diary: "The Diary of Samuel Pepys"

Too wonderful! Phil Gyford has turned The Diary of Samuel Pepys into a weblog. Pepys lived in London in the latter half of the 17th c. and faithfully wrote in his diary everyday. His connections were extensive, so through his diary we see the events of his time, both large and small. He chronicled the Plague and the Great Fire, but he also wrote about what he had for dinner and his amorous adventures.

Gyford reproduces Pepys's diary entries in a daily weblog. Yesterday's entry, for instance, is for Monday 25 March 1661. If Pepys had lived with the Internet, I know he'd have done the same.

I intend to become a daily reader.
