Samuel Pepys and His Diary - Historic UK

On May 31, 1669, citing poor eyesight, English civil servant Samuel Pepys recorded the last event in his diary. A short excerpt from the introduction:

"On the 23rd February 1633 Samuel Pepys was born in Salisbury Court, London. The son of John, a tailor and his wife Margaret, Samuel Pepys would later become famous for the diary he used to record the everyday events that were happening whilst he worked for the Navy. His personal accounts documented an important period in English history from 1660 until 1669; as a historical source his diary continues to hold great value and resonance for anyone interested in learning about this period in history from an eyewitness account."
