More about the book
The fifth volume of the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys comprises eleven volumes -- nine volumes of text and footnotes, a tenth volume of commentary, and an eleventh volume of Index. Each of the first eight volumes contains one whole calendar year of the diary, from January to December. The ninth volume runs from January 1668 to May 1669. The Diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new editions, re-issues, and selections made the diary one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the best-known figures, of English history. This edition is the first in which the entire diary is printed and in which an attempt has been made at systematic comment on it.
