| Summary | "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S." by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century. This diary chronicles the daily life and observations of Pepys, who serves as a Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Admiralty in Restoration England, providing a unique glimpse into the political, social, and cultural milieu of the time. Within its pages, Pepys details his personal experiences, the workings of government, and the events that shaped the era, including the monarchy's return and notable public figures. The opening of the diary sets the stage for Pepys's reflections, beginning in January 1661. It highlights his stable position in the Navy Office, his interactions with various family members and acquaintances, and a significant backdrop of political unrest, including a recent parliamentary dissolution and fears of conspiracy. He details his daily routines ranging from overseeing government business, attending meals with family and friends, and engaging in leisure activities, such as theater outings and music. This early entry establishes Pepys's keen observation skills and offers a sense of the complexities of life in London at the time, indicative of the rich narrative style that characterizes the rest of the diary.
