Samenvatting
In this final volume in his three-volume history of the life and career of Samuel Pepys, originally published in 1935, esteemed historian Arthur Bryant records Pepys's life from 1683 to 1689, when he resigned as MP for Harwich and Secretary of the Admiralty. Bryant draws on Pepys' unpublished manuscripts and notes from the Admiralty to illuminate these important years, when he was King's Secretary for the Admiralty under Charles II and James II. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pepys or Restoration politics.
