About this book
Creators: John Evelyn (1620-1706) and William Bray (1736-1832) [Editor] "The Diary of John Evelyn (Volume 2 of 2)" by John Evelyn is a diary first published in 1818. This work chronicles the life of a seventeenth-century Royalist gentleman and scholar from 1640 to 1706. Unlike a strict daily record, Evelyn compiled many entries from notes with the benefit of hindsight, documenting his travels, observations of buildings and art, and experiences across decades of English history. His diary predated and helped inspire the later publication of Samuel Pepys's more famous diary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
