WHEATLEY F.S.A. + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + MARCH & APRIL + 1659-60 + +March 1st. In the morning went to my Lord's lodgings, thinking to have +spoke with Mr. Sheply, having not been to visit him since my coming to +town. But he being not within I went up, and out of the box where my +Lord's pamphlets lay, I chose as many as I had a mind to have for my own +use and left the rest. Then to my office, where little to do, abut Mr. +Sheply comes to me, so at dinner time he and I went to Mr. Crew's, whither +Mr. Thomas was newly come to town, being sent with Sir H. Yelverton, a my +old school-fellow at Paul's School, to bring the thanks of the county to +General Monk for the return of the Parliament. But old Mr. Crew and my +Lord not coming home to dinner, we tarried late before we went to dinner, +it being the day that John, Mr. John Crew's coachman, was to be buried in +the afternoon, he being a day or two before killed with a blow of one of +his horses that struck his skull into his brain. From thence Mr. Sheply +and I went into London to Mr. Laxton's; my Lord's apothecary, and so by +water to Westminster, where at the Sun [tavern] he and I spent two or +three hours in a pint or two of wine, discoursing of matters in the +country, among other things telling me that my uncle did to him make a +very kind mention of me, and what he would do for me. Thence I went home, +and went to bed betimes. This day the Parliament did vote that they would +not sit longer than the 15th day of this month. + +2d. This morning I went early to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, where I spoke to +him. Here were a great many come to see him, as Secretary Thurlow who is +now by this Parliament chosen again Secretary of State. There were also +General Monk's trumpeters to give my Lord a sound of their trumpets this +morning. Thence I went to my office, and wrote a letter to Mr. Downing +about the business of his house. Then going home, I met with Mr. Eglin, +Chetwind, and Thomas, who took me to the Leg [another tavern] in King's +street, where we had two brave dishes of meat, one of fish, a carp and +some other fishes, as well done as ever I ate any. After that to the Swan +tavern, where we drank a quart or two of wine, and so parted. So I to +Mrs. Jem and took Mr. Moore with me (who I met in the street), and there I +met W. Howe and Sheply. After that to Westminster Hall, where I saw Sir +G. Booth at liberty. This day I hear the City militia is put into good +posture, and it is thought that Monk will not be able to do any great +matter against them now, if he have a mind. I understand that my Lord +Lambert did yesterday send a letter to the Council, and that to-night he +is to come and appear to the Council in person. Sir Arthur Haselrigge do +not yet appear in the House. Great is the talk of a single person, and +that it would now be Charles, George, or Richard again.--[Charles II., or +George Monk, or Richard Cromwell.]--For the last of which, my Lord St. +John is said to speak high. Great also is the dispute now in the House, +in whose name the writs shall run for the next Parliament; and it is said +that Mr. Prin, in open House, said, "In King Charles's." From Westminster +Hall home. Spent the evening in my study, and so after some talk with my +wife, then to bed. + +3d. To Westminster Hall, where I found that my Lord was last night voted +one of the Generals at Sea, and Monk the other. I met my Lord in the +Hall, who bid me come to him at noon. I met with Mr. Pierce the purser, +Lieut. Lambert, Mr. Creed, and Will. Howe, and went with them to the Swan +tavern. Up to my office, but did nothing. At noon home to dinner to a +sheep's head. My brother Tom came and dined with me, and told me that my +mother was not very well, and that my Aunt Fenner was very ill too. After +dinner I to Warwick House, in Holborn, to my Lord, where he dined with my +Lord of Manchester, Sir Dudley North, my Lord Fiennes, and my Lord Barkly. +I staid in the great hall, talking with some gentlemen there, till they +all come out. Then I, by coach with my Lord, to Mr. Crew's, in our way +talking of publick things, and how I should look after getting of his +Commissioner's despatch. He told me he feared there was new design +hatching, as if Monk had a mind to get into the saddle. Here I left him, +and went by appointment to Hering, the merchant, but missed of my money, +at which I was much troubled, but could not help myself. Returning, met +Mr. Gifford, who took me and gave me half a pint of wine, and told me, as +I hear this day from many, that things are in a very doubtful posture, +some of the Parliament being willing to keep the power in their hands. +After I had left him, I met with Tom Harper, who took me into a place in +Drury Lane, where we drank a great deal of strong water, more than ever I +did in my life at onetime before. He talked huge high that my Lord +Protector would come in place again, which indeed is much discoursed of +again, though I do not see it possible. Hence home and wrote to my father +at Brampton by the post. So to bed. This day I was told that my Lord +General Fleetwood told my lord that he feared the King of Sweden is dead +of a fever at Gottenburg. + +4th. Lord's day. Before I went to church I sang Orpheus' Hymn to my +viall. After that to Mr. Gunning's, an excellent sermon upon charity. +Then to my mother to dinner, where my wife and the maid were come. After +dinner we three to Mr. Messum's where we met Mons. L'Impertinent, who got +us a seat and told me a ridiculous story how that last week he had caused +a simple citizen to spend; L80 in entertainments of him and some friends +of his upon pretence of some service that he would do him in his suit +after a widow. Then to my mother again, and after supper she and I talked +very high about religion, I in defence of the religion I was born in. +Then home. + +5th. Early in the morning Mr. Hill comes to string my theorbo, + + [The theorbo was a bass lute. Having gut strings it was played with + the fingers. There is a humorous comparison of the long waists of + ladies, which came into fashion about 1621, with the theorbo, by + Bishop Corbet: + + "She was barr'd up in whale-bones, that did leese + None of the whale's length, for they reached her knees; + Off with her head, and then she hath a middle + As her waste stands, just like the new found fiddle, + The favourite Theorbo, truth to tell ye, + Whose neck and throat are deeper than the belly." + + Corbet, 'Iter Boreale'.] + +which we were about till past ten o'clock, with a great deal of pleasure. +Then to Westminster, where I met with Mr. Sheply and Mr. Pinkney at +Will's, who took me by water to Billingsgate, at the Salutation Tavern, +whither by-and-by, Mr. Talbot and Adams came, and bring a great [deal of] +good meat, a ham of bacon, &c. Here we staid and drank till Mr. Adams +began to be overcome. Then we parted, and so to Westminster by water, +only seeing Mr. Pinkney at his own house, where he shewed me how he had +alway kept the Lion and Unicorn, in the back of his chimney, bright, in +expectation of the King's coming again. At home I found Mr. Hunt, who +told me how the Parliament had voted that the Covenant be printed and +hung in churches again. Great hopes of the King's coming again. To bed. + +6th. (Shrove Tuesday.) I called Mr. Sheply and we both went up to my +Lord's lodgings at Mr. Crew's, where he bade us to go home again, and get +a fire against an hour after. Which we did at White Hall, whither he +came, and after talking with him and me about his going to sea, he called +me by myself to go along with him into the garden, where he asked me how +things were with me, and what he had endeavoured to do with my uncle to +get him to do something for me but he would say nothing too. He likewise +bade me look out now at this turn some good place, and he would use all +his own, and all the interest of his friends that he had in England, to do +me good. And asked me whether I could, without too much inconvenience, go +to sea as his secretary, and bid me think of it. He also began to talk of +things of State, and told me that he should want one in that capacity at +sea, that he might trust in, and therefore he would have me to go. He +told me also, that he did believe the King would come in, and did +discourse with me about it, and about the affection of the people and +City, at which I was full glad. After he was gone, I waiting upon him +through the garden till he came to the Hall, where I left him and went up +to my office, where Mr. Hawly brought one to me, a seaman, that had +promised Rio to him if he get him a purser's place, which I think to +endeavour to do. Here comes my uncle Tom, whom I took to Will's and drank +with, poor man, he comes to inquire about the knights of Windsor, of which +he desires to get to be one. + + [The body of Poor Knights of Windsor was founded by Edward III. The + intention of the king with regard to the poor knights was to provide + relief and comfortable subsistence for such valiant soldiers as + happened in their old age to fall into poverty and decay. On + September 20th, 1659, a Report having been read respecting the Poor + Knights of Windsor, the House "ordered that it be referred to a + Committee, to look into the revenue for maintenance of the Poor + Knights of Windsor," &c. (See Tighe and Davis's "Annals of + Windsor.")] + +While we were drinking, in comes Mr. Day, a carpenter in Westminster, to +tell me that it was Shrove Tuesday, and that I must go with him to their +yearly Club upon this day, which I confess I had quite forgot. So I went +to the Bell, where were Mr. Eglin, Veezy, Vincent a butcher, one more, and +Mr. Tanner, with whom I played upon a viall, and he a viallin, after +dinner, and were very merry, with a special good dinner, a leg of veal and +bacon, two capons and sausages and fritters, with abundance of wine. After +that I went home, where I found Kate Sterpin who hath not been here a +great while before. She gone I went to see Mrs. Jem, at whose chamber +door I found a couple of ladies, but she not being there, we hunted her +out, and found that she and another had hid themselves behind a door. +Well, they all went down into the dining-room, where it was full of tag, +rag, and bobtail, dancing, singing, and drinking, of which I was ashamed, +and after I had staid a dance or two I went away. Going home, called at +my Lord's for Mr. Sheply, but found him at the Lion with a pewterer, that +he had bought pewter to-day of. With them I drank, and so home and wrote +by the post, by my Lord's command, for J. Goods to come up presently. For +my Lord intends to go forthwith into the Swiftsure till the Nazeby be +ready. This day I hear that the Lords do intend to sit, and great store +of them are now in town, and I see in the Hall to-day. Overton at Hull do +stand out, but can, it is thought, do nothing; and Lawson, it is said, is +gone with some ships thither, but all that is nothing. My Lord told me, +that there was great endeavours to bring in the Protector again; but he +told me, too, that he did believe it would not last long if he were +brought in; no, nor the King neither (though he seems to think that he +will come in), unless he carry himself very soberly and well. Every body +now drinks the King's health without any fear, whereas before it was very +private that a man dare do it. Monk this day is feasted at Mercers' Hall, +and is invited one after another to all the twelve Halls in London! Many +think that he is honest yet, and some or more think him to be a fool that +would raise himself, but think that he will undo himself by endeavouring +it. My mind, I must needs remember, has been very much eased and joyed at +my Lord's great expressions of kindness this day, and in discourse +thereupon my wife and I lay awake an hour or two in our bed. + +7th. (Ash Wednesday.) In the morning I went to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, in +my way Washington overtook me and told me upon my question whether he knew +of any place now void that I might have, by power over friends, that this +day Mr. G. Montagu was to be made 'Custos Rotulorum' for Westminster, and +that by friends I might get to be named by him Clerk of the Peace, with +which I was, as I am at all new things, very much joyed, so when I came to +Mr. Crew's, I spoke to my Lord about it, who told me he believed Mr. +Montagu had already promised it, and that it was given him only that he +might gratify one person with the place I look for. Here, among many that +were here, I met with Mr. Lynes, the surgeon, who promised me some seeds +of the sensitive plant. + + [Evelyn, about the same date (August 9th, 1661), "tried several + experiments on the sensitive plant and humilis, which contracted + with the least touch of the sun through a burning glass, though it + rises and opens only when it shines on it"] + +I spoke too with Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who gave me great encouragement +to go to sea with my Lord. Thence going homewards, my Lord overtook me in +his coach, and called me in, and so I went with him to St. James's, and G. +Montagu being gone to White Hall, we walked over the Park thither, all the +way he discoursing of the times, and of the change of things since the +last year, and wondering how he could bear with so great disappointment as +he did. He did give me the best advice that he could what was best for +me, whether to stay or go with him, and offered all the ways that could +be, how he might do me good, with the greatest liberty and love that could +be. I left him at Whitehall, and myself went to Westminster to my office, +whither nothing to do, but I did discourse with Mr. Falconbridge about Le +Squire's place, and had his consent to get it if I could. I afterwards in +the Hall met with W. Simons, who put me in the best way how to get it +done. Thence by appointment to the Angel in King Street, where Chetwind, +Mr. Thomas and Doling were at oysters, and beginning Lent this day with a +fish dinner. After dinner Mr. Thomas and I by water to London, where I +went to Herring's and received the L50 of my Lord's upon Frank's bill from +Worcester. I gave in the bill and set my hand to his bill. Thence I went +to the Pope's Head Alley and called on Adam Chard, and bought a catcall +there, it cost me two groats. Thence went and gave him a cup of ale. +After that to the Sun behind the Exchange, where meeting my uncle Wight +by the way, took him with me thither, and after drinking a health or two +round at the Cock (Mr. Thomas being gone thither), we parted, he and I +homewards, parted at Fleet Street, where I found my father newly come home +from Brampton very well. He left my uncle with his leg very dangerous, and +do believe he cannot continue in that condition long. He tells me that my +uncle did acquaint him very largely what he did intend to do with his +estate, to make me his heir and give my brother Tom something, and that my +father and mother should have likewise something, to raise portions for +John and Pall. I pray God he may be as good as his word. Here I staid +and supped and so home, there being Joyce Norton there and Ch. Glascock. +Going home I called at Wotton's and took home a piece of cheese. At home +Mr. Sheply sat with me a little while, and so we all to bed. This news +and my Lord's great kindness makes me very cheerful within. I pray God +make me thankful. This day, according to order, Sir Arthur [Haselrigge] +appeared at the House; what was done I know not, but there was all the +Rumpers almost come to the House to-day. My Lord did seem to wonder much +why Lambert was so willing to be put into the Tower, and thinks he has +some design in it; but I think that he is so poor that he cannot use his +liberty for debts, if he were at liberty; and so it is as good and better +for him to be there, than any where else. + +8th. To Whitehall to bespeak some firing for my father at Short's, and +likewise to speak to Mr. Blackburne about Batters being gunner in the +"Wexford." Then to Westminster Hall, where there was a general damp over +men's minds and faces upon some of the Officers of the Army being about +making a remonstrance against Charles Stuart or any single person; but at +noon it was told, that the General had put a stop to it, so all was well +again. Here I met with Jasper, who was to look for me to bring me to my +Lord at the lobby; whither sending a note to my Lord, he comes out to me +and gives me direction to look after getting some money for him from the +Admiralty, seeing that things are so unsafe, that he would not lay out a +farthing for the State, till he had received some money of theirs. Home +about two o'clock, and took my wife by land to Paternoster Row, to buy +some Paragon for a petticoat and so home again. In my way meeting Mr. +Moore, who went home with me while I ate a bit and so back to Whitehall +again, both of us. He waited at the Council for Mr. Crew. I to the +Admiralty, where I got the order for the money, and have taken care for +the getting of it assigned upon Mr. Hutchinson, Treasurer for the Navy, +against tomorrow. Hence going home I met with Mr. King that belonged to +the Treasurers at War and took him to Harper's, who told me that he and +the rest of his fellows are cast out of office by the new Treasurers. This +afternoon, some of the Officers of the Army, and some of the Parliament, +had a conference at White Hall to make all right again, but I know not +what is done. This noon I met at the Dog tavern Captain Philip Holland, +with whom I advised how to make some advantage of my Lord's going to sea, +which he told me might be by having of five or six servants entered on +board, and I to give them what wages I pleased, and so their pay to be +mine; he was also very urgent to have me take the Secretary's place, that +my Lord did proffer me. At the same time in comes Mr. Wade and Mr. +Sterry, secretary to the plenipotentiary in Denmark, who brought the news +of the death of the King of Sweden at Gottenburgh the 3rd of the last +month, and he told me what a great change he found when he came here, the +secluded members being restored. He also spoke very freely of Mr. Wades +profit, which he made while he was in Zeeland, how he did believe that he +cheated Mr. Powell, and that he made above L500 on the voyage, which Mr. +Wade did very angrily deny, though I believe he was guilty enough. + +9th. To my Lord at his lodging, and came to Westminster with him in the +coach, with Mr. Dudley with him, and he in the Painted Chamber + + [The Painted Chamber, or St. Edward's Chamber, in the old Palace at + Westminster. The first name was given to it from the curious + paintings on the walls, and the second from the tradition that + Edward the Confessor died in it.] + +walked a good while; and I telling him that I was willing and ready to go +with him to sea, he agreed that I should, and advised me what to write to +Mr. Downing about it, which I did at my office, that by my Lord's desire I +offered that my place might for a while be supplied by Mr. Moore, and that +I and my security should be bound by the same bond for him. I went and +dined at Mr. Crew's, where Mr. Hawly comes to me, and I told him the +business and shewed him the letter promising him L20 a year, which he +liked very well of. I did the same to Mr. Moore, which he also took for a +courtesy. In the afternoon by coach, taking Mr. Butler with me to the +Navy Office, about the L500 for my Lord, which I am promised to have +to-morrow morning. Then by coach back again, and at White Hall at the +Council Chamber spoke with my Lord and got him to sign the acquittance for +the L500, and he also told me that he had spoke to Mr. Blackburne to put +off Mr. Creed and that I should come to him for direction in the +employment. After this Mr. Butler and I to Harper's, where we sat and +drank for two hours till ten at night; the old woman she was drunk and +began to talk foolishly in commendation of her son James. Home and to +bed. All night troubled in my thoughts how to order my business upon this +great change with me that I could not sleep, and being overheated with +drink I made a promise the next morning to drink no strong drink this +week, for I find that it makes me sweat and puts me quite out of order. +This day it was resolved that the writs do go out in the name of the +Keepers of the Liberty, and I hear that it is resolved privately that a +treaty be offered with the King. And that Monk did check his soldiers +highly for what they did yesterday. + +10th. In the morning went to my father's, whom I took in his cutting +house,--[His father was a tailor, and this was his cutting-out room.]--and +there I told him my resolution to go to sea with my Lord, and consulted +with him how to dispose of my wife, and we resolved of letting her be at +Mr. Bowyer's. Thence to the Treasurer of the Navy, where I received L500 +for my Lord, and having left L200 of it with Mr. Rawlinson at his house +for Sheply, I went with the rest to the Sun tavern on Fish Street Hill, +where Mr. Hill, Stevens and Mr. Hater of the Navy Office had invited me, +where we had good discourse and a fine breakfast of Mr. Hater. Then by +coach home, where I took occasion to tell my wife of my going to sea, who +was much troubled at it, and was with some dispute at last willing to +continue at Mr. Bowyer's in my absence. After this to see Mrs. Jem and +paid her maid L7, and then to Mr. Blackburne, who told me what Mr. Creed +did say upon the news of my coming into his place, and that he did propose +to my Lord that there should be two Secretaries, which made me go to Sir +H. Wright's where my Lord dined and spoke with him about it, but he seemed +not to agree to the motion. Hither W. Howe comes to me and so to +Westminster. In the way he told me, what I was to provide and so forth +against my going. He went with me to my office, whither also Mr. Madge +comes half foxed and played the fool upon the violin that made me weary. +Then to Whitehall and so home and set many of my things in order against +my going. My wife was late making of caps for me, and the wench making an +end of a pair of stockings that she was knitting of. So to bed. + +11th. (Sunday.) All the day busy without my band on, putting up my books +and things, in order to my going to sea. At night my wife and I went to +my father's to supper, where J. Norton and Chas. Glascocke supt with us, +and after supper home, where the wench had provided all things against +tomorrow to wash, and so to bed, where I much troubled with my cold and +coughing. + +12th. This day the wench rose at two in the morning to wash, and my wife +and I lay talking a great while. I by reason of my cold could not tell +how to sleep. My wife and I to the Exchange, where we bought a great many +things, where I left her and went into London, and at Bedells the +bookseller's at the Temple gate I paid L12 10s. 6d. for Mr. Fuller by his +direction. So came back and at Wilkinson's found Mr. Sheply and some sea +people, as the cook of the Nazeby and others, at dinner. Then to the +White Horse in King Street, where I got Mr. Buddle's horse to ride to +Huntsmore to Mr. Bowyer's, where I found him and all well, and willing to +have my wife come and board with them while I was at sea, which was the +business I went about. Here I lay and took a thing for my cold, namely a +spoonful of honey and a nutmeg scraped into it, by Mr. Bowyer's direction, +and so took it into my mouth, which I found did do me much good. + +13th. It rained hard and I got up early, and got to London by 8 o'clock +at my Lord's lodgings, who told me that I was to be secretary, and Creed +to be deputy treasurer to the Fleet, at which I was troubled, but I could +not help it. After that to my father's to look after things, and so at my +shoemaker's and others. At night to Whitehall, where I met with Simons +and Luellin at drink with them at Roberts at Whitehall. Then to the +Admiralty, where I talked with Mr. Creed till the Brothers, and they were +very seemingly willing and glad that I have the place since my Lord would +dispose of it otherwise than to them. Home and to bed. This day the +Parliament voted all that had been done by the former Rump against the +House of Lords be void, and to-night that the writs go out without any +qualification. Things seem very doubtful what will be the end of all; for +the Parliament seems to be strong for the King, while the soldiers do all +talk against. + +14th. To my Lord, where infinity of applications to him and to me. To my +great trouble, my Lord gives me all the papers that was given to him, to +put in order and give him an account of them. Here I got half-a-piece of +a person of Mr. Wright's recommending to my Lord to be Preacher of the +Speaker frigate. I went hence to St. James's and Mr. Pierce the surgeon +with me, to speak with Mr. Clerke, Monk's secretary, about getting some +soldiers removed out of Huntingdon to Oundle, which my Lord told me he did +to do a courtesy to the town, that he might have the greater interest in +them, in the choice of the next Parliament; not that he intends to be +chosen himself, but that he might have Mr. G. Montagu and my Lord +Mandeville chose there in spite of the Bernards. This done (where I saw +General Monk and methought he seemed a dull heavy man), he and I to +Whitehall, where with Luellin we dined at Marsh's. Coming home telling my +wife what we had to dinner, she had a mind to some cabbage, and I sent for +some and she had it. Went to the Admiralty, where a strange thing how I +am already courted by the people. This morning among others that came to +me I hired a boy of Jenkins of Westminster and Burr to be my clerk. This +night I went to Mr. Creed's chamber where he gave me the former book of +the proceedings in the fleet and the Seal. Then to Harper's where old +Beard was and I took him by coach to my Lord's, but he was not at home, +but afterwards I found him out at Sir H. Wright's. Thence by coach, it +raining hard, to Mrs. Jem, where I staid a while, and so home, and late in +the night put up my things in a sea-chest that Mr. Sheply lent me, and so +to bed. + +15th. Early packing up my things to be sent by cart with the rest of my +Lord's. So to Will's, where I took leave of some of my friends. Here I +met Tom Alcock, one that went to school with me at Huntingdon, but I had +not seen him these sixteen years. So in the Hall paid and made even with +Mrs. Michell; afterwards met with old Beale, and at the Axe paid him this +quarter to Ladyday next. In the afternoon Dick Mathews comes to dine, and +I went and drank with him at Harper's. So into London by water, and in +Fish Street my wife and I bought a bit of salmon for 8d. and went to the +Sun Tavern and ate it, where I did promise to give her all that I have in +the world but my books, in case I should die at sea. From thence +homewards; in the way my wife bought linen for three smocks and other +things. I went to my Lord's and spoke with him. So home with Mrs. Jem by +coach and then home to my own house. From thence to the Fox in +King-street to supper on a brave turkey of Mr. Hawly's, with some friends +of his there, Will Bowyer, &c. After supper I went to Westminster Hall, +and the Parliament sat till ten at night, thinking and being expected to +dissolve themselves to-day, but they did not. Great talk to-night that +the discontented officers did think this night to make a stir, but +prevented. To the Fox again. Home with my wife, and to bed extraordinary +sleepy. + +16th. No sooner out of bed but troubled with abundance of clients, +seamen. My landlord Vanly's man came to me by my direction yesterday, for +I was there at his house as I was going to London by water, and I paid him +rent for my house for this quarter ending at Lady day, and took an +acquittance that he wrote me from his master. Then to Mr. Sheply, to the +Rhenish Tavern House, where Mr. Pim, the tailor, was, and gave us a +morning draft and a neat's tongue. Home and with my wife to London, we +dined at my father's, where Joyce Norton and Mr. Armiger dined also. After +dinner my wife took leave of them in order to her going to-morrow to +Huntsmore. In my way home I went to the Chapel in Chancery Lane to +bespeak papers of all sorts and other things belonging to writing against +my voyage. So home, where I spent an hour or two about my business in my +study. Thence to the Admiralty, and staid a while, so home again, where +Will Bowyer came to tell us that he would bear my wife company in the +coach to-morrow. Then to Westminster Hall, where I heard how the +Parliament had this day dissolved themselves, and did pass very cheerfully +through the Hall, and the Speaker without his mace. The whole Hall was +joyful thereat, as well as themselves, and now they begin to talk loud of +the King. To-night I am told, that yesterday, about five o'clock in the +afternoon, one came with a ladder to the Great Exchange, and wiped with a +brush the inscription that was upon King Charles, and that there was a +great bonfire made in the Exchange, and people called out "God bless. +King Charles the Second!" + + ["Then the writing in golden letters, that was engraven under the + statue of Charles I, in the Royal Exchange ('Exit tyrannus, Regum + ultimus, anno libertatis Angliae, anno Domini 1648, Januarie xxx.) + was washed out by a painter, who in the day time raised a ladder, + and with a pot and brush washed the writing quite out, threw down + his pot and brush and said it should never do him any more service, + in regard that it had the honour to put out rebels' hand-writing. + He then came down, took away his ladder, not a misword said to him, + and by whose order it was done was not then known. The merchants + were glad and joyful, many people were gathered together, and + against the Exchange made a bonfire. "Rugge's Diurnal." In the + Thomason Collection of Civil War Tracts at the British Museum is a + pamphlet which is dated in MS. March 21st, 1659-60, where this act + is said to be by order of Monk: "The Loyal Subjects Teares for the + Sufferings and Absence of their Sovereign Charles II., King of + England, Scotland, and Ireland; with an Observation upon the + expunging of 'Exit Tyrannus, Regum ultimus', by order of General + Monk, and some Advice to the Independents, Anabaptists, Phanatiques, + &c. London, 1660."] + +From the Hall I went home to bed, very sad in mind to part with my wife, +but God's will be done. + +17th. This morning bade adieu in bed to the company of my wife. We rose +and I gave my wife some money to serve her for a time, and what papers of +consequence I had. Then I left her to get her ready and went to my Lord's +with my boy Eliezer to my Lord's lodging at Mr. Crew's. Here I had much +business with my Lord, and papers, great store, given me by my Lord to +dispose of as of the rest. After that, with Mr. Moore home to my house +and took my wife by coach to the Chequer in Holborn, where, after we had +drank, &c., she took coach and so farewell. I staid behind with Tom +Alcock and Mr. Anderson, my old chamber fellow at Cambridge his brother, +and drank with them there, who were come to me thither about one that +would have a place at sea. Thence with Mr. Hawly to dinner at Mr. Crew's. +After dinner to my own house, where all things were put up into the +dining-room and locked up, and my wife took the keys along with her. + +This day, in the presence of Mr. Moore (who made it) and Mr. Hawly, I did +before I went out with my wife, seal my will to her, whereby I did give +her all that I have in the world, but my books which I give to my brother +John, excepting only French books, which my wife is to have. In the +evening at the Admiralty, I met my Lord there and got a commission for +Williamson to be captain of the Harp frigate, and afterwards went by coach +taking Mr. Crips with me to my Lord and got him to sign it at table as he +was at supper. And so to Westminster back again with him with me, who had +a great desire to go to sea and my Lord told me that he would do him any +favour. So I went home with him to his mother's house by me in Axe Yard, +where I found Dr. Clodius's wife and sat there talking and hearing of old +Mrs. Crisp playing of her old lessons upon the harpsichon till it was time +to go to bed. After that to bed, and Laud, her son lay with me in the +best chamber in her house, which indeed was finely furnished. + +18th. I rose early and went to the barber's (Jervas) in Palace Yard and I +was trimmed by him, and afterwards drank with him a cup or two of ale, and +did begin to hire his man to go with me to sea. Then to my Lord's lodging +where I found Captain Williamson and gave him his commission to be Captain +of the Harp, and he gave me a piece of gold and 20s. in silver. So to my +own house, where I staid a while and then to dinner with Mr. Shepley at my +Lord's lodgings. After that to Mr. Mossum's, where he made a very gallant +sermon upon "Pray for the life of the King and the King's son." (Ezra vi. +10.) From thence to Mr. Crew's, but my Lord not being within I did not +stay, but went away and met with Mr. Woodfine, who took me to an alehouse +in Drury Lane, and we sat and drank together, and ate toasted cakes which +were very good, and we had a great deal of mirth with the mistress of the +house about them. From thence homewards, and called at Mr. Blagrave's, +where I took up my note that he had of mine for 40s., which he two years +ago did give me as a pawn while he had my lute. So that all things are +even between him and I. So to Mrs. Crisp, where she and her daughter and +son and I sat talking till ten o'clock at night, I giving them the best +advice that I could concerning their son, how he should go to sea, and so +to bed. + +19th. Early to my Lord, where infinity of business to do, which makes my +head full; and indeed, for these two or three days, I have not been +without a great many cares and thoughts concerning them. After that to +the Admiralty, where a good while with Mr. Blackburne, who told me that it +was much to be feared that the King would come in, for all good men and +good things were now discouraged. Thence to Wilkinson's, where Mr. Sheply +and I dined; and while we were at dinner, my Lord Monk's lifeguard come by +with the Serjeant at Arms before them, with two Proclamations, that all +Cavaliers do depart the town; but the other that all officers that were +lately disbanded should do the same. The last of which Mr. R. Creed, I +remember, said, that he looked upon it as if they had said, that all God's +people should depart the town. Thence with some sea officers to the Swan, +where we drank wine till one comes to me to pay me some money from +Worcester, viz., L25. His name is Wilday. I sat in another room and took +my money and drank with him till the rest of my company were gone and so +we parted. Going home the water was high, and so I got Crockford to carry +me over it. So home, and left my money there. All the discourse +now-a-day is, that the King will come again; and for all I see, it is the +wishes of all; and all do believe that it will be so. My mind is still +much troubled for my poor wife, but I hope that this undertaking will be +worth my pains. To Whitehall and staid about business at the Admiralty +late, then to Tony Robins's, where Capt. Stokes, Mr. Luddington and others +were, and I did solicit the Captain for Laud Crisp, who gave me a promise +that he would entertain him. After that to Mrs. Crisp's where Dr. Clodius +and his wife were. He very merry with drink. We played at cards late and +so to bed. This day my Lord dined at my Lord Mayor's [Allen], and Jasper +was made drunk, which my Lord was very angry at. + +20th. This morning I rose early and went to my house to put things in a +little order against my going, which I conceive will be to-morrow (the +weather still very rainy). After that to my Lord, where I found very +great deal of business, he giving me all letters and papers that come to +him about business, for me to give him account of when we come on +shipboard. Hence with Capt. Isham by coach to Whitehall to the Admiralty. +He and I and Chetwind, Doling and Luellin dined together at Marsh's at +Whitehall. So to the Bull Head whither W. Simons comes to us and I gave +them my foy + + [Foy. A feast given by one who is about to leave a place. In Kent, + according to Grose, a treat to friends, either at going abroad or + coming home. See Diary, November 25th, 1661.] + +against my going to sea; and so we took leave one of another, they +promising me to write to me to sea. Hither comes Pim's boy, by my +direction, with two monteeres--[Monteeres, montero (Spanish), a kind of +huntsman's cap.]--for me to take my choice of, and I chose the saddest +colour and left the other for Mr. Sheply. Hence by coach to London, and +took a short melancholy leave of my father and mother, without having them +to drink, or say anything of business one to another. And indeed I had a +fear upon me I should scarce ever see my mother again, she having a great +cold then upon her. Then to Westminster, where by reason of rain and an +easterly wind, the water was so high that there was boats rowed in King +Street and all our yard was drowned, that one could not go to my house, so +as no man has seen the like almost, most houses full of water. + + ["In this month the wind was very high, and caused great tides, so + that great hurt was done to the inhabitants of Westminster, King + Street being quite drowned. The Maidenhead boat was cast away, and + twelve persons with her. Also, about Dover the waters brake in upon + the mainland; and in Kent was very much damage done; so that report + said, there was L20,000 worth of harm done."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +Then back by coach to my Lord's; where I met Mr. Sheply, who staid with me +waiting for my Lord's coming in till very late. Then he and I, and +William Howe went with our swords to bring my Lord home from Sir H. +Wright's. He resolved to go to-morrow if the wind ceased. Sheply and I +home by coach. I to Mrs. Crisp's, who had sat over a good supper long +looking for me. So we sat talking and laughing till it was very late, and +so Laud and I to bed. + +21st. To my Lord's, but the wind very high against us, and the weather +bad we could not go to-day; here I did very much business, and then to my +Lord Widdrington's from my Lord, with his desire that he might have the +disposal of the writs of the Cinque Ports. My Lord was very civil to me, +and called for wine, and writ a long letter in answer. Thence I went to a +tavern over against Mr. Pierce's with judge Advocate Fowler and Mr. Burr, +and sat and drank with them two or three pints of wine. After that to Mr. +Crew's again and gave my Lord an account of what I had done, and so about +my business to take leave of my father and mother, which by a mistake I +have put down yesterday. Thence to Westminster to Crisp's, where we were +very merry; the old woman sent for a supper for me, and gave me a +handkercher with strawberry buttons on it, and so to bed. + +22nd. Up very early and set things in order at my house, and so took +leave of Mrs. Crispe and her daughter (who was in bed) and of Mrs. Hunt. +Then to my Lord's lodging at the gate and did so there, where Mr. Hawly +came to me and I gave him the key of my house to keep, and he went with me +to Mr. Crew's, and there I took my last leave of him. But the weather +continuing very bad my Lord would not go to-day. My Lord spent this +morning private in sealing of his last will and testament with Mr. W. +Mountagu. After that I went forth about my own business to buy a pair of +riding grey serge stockings and sword and belt and hose, and after that +took Wotton and Brigden to the Pope's Head Tavern in Chancery Lane, where +Gilb. Holland and Shelston were, and we dined and drank a great deal of +wine, and they paid all. Strange how these people do now promise me +anything; one a rapier, the other a vessel of wine or a gun, and one +offered me his silver hatband to do him a courtesy. I pray God to keep me +from being proud or too much lifted up hereby. After that to Westminster, +and took leave of Kate Sterpin who was very sorry to part with me, and +after that of Mr. George Mountagu, and received my warrant of Mr. +Blackburne, to be Secretary to the two Generals of the Fleet. Then to take +my leave of the Clerks of the Council, and thence Doling and Luellin would +have me go with them to Mount's chamber, where we sat and talked and then +I went away. So to my Lord (in my way meeting Chetwind and Swan and bade +them farewell) where I lay all night with Mr. Andrews. This day Mr. Sheply +went away on board and I sent my boy with him. This day also Mrs. Jemimah +went to Marrowbone, so I could not see her. Mr. Moore being out of town +to-night I could not take leave of him nor speak to him about business +which troubled me much. I left my small case therefore with Mr. Andrews +for him. + +23rd. Up early, carried my Lord's will in a black box to Mr. William +Montagu for him to keep for him. Then to the barber's and put on my +cravat there. So to my Lord again, who was almost ready to be gone and +had staid for me. Hither came Gilb. Holland, and brought me a stick +rapier and Shelston a sugar-loaf, and had brought his wife who he said was +a very pretty woman to the Ship tavern hard by for me to see but I could +not go. Young Reeve also brought me a little perspective glass which I +bought for my Lord, it cost me 8s. So after that my Lord in Sir H. +Wright's coach with Captain Isham, Mr. Thomas, John Crew, W. Howe, and I +in a Hackney to the Tower, where the barges staid for us; my Lord and the +Captain in one, and W. Howe and I, &c., in the other, to the Long Reach, +where the Swiftsure lay at anchor; (in our way we saw the great breach +which the late high water had made, to the loss of many L1000 to the +people about Limehouse.) Soon as my Lord on board, the guns went off +bravely from the ships. And a little while after comes the Vice-Admiral +Lawson, and seemed very respectful to my Lord, and so did the rest of the +Commanders of the frigates that were thereabouts. I to the cabin allotted +for me, which was the best that any had that belonged to my Lord. I got +out some things out of my chest for writing and to work presently, Mr, +Burr and I both. I supped at the deck table with Mr. Sheply. We were +late writing of orders for the getting of ships ready, &c.; and also +making of others to all the seaports between Hastings and Yarmouth, to +stop all dangerous persons that are going or coming between Flanders and +there. After that to bed in my cabin, which was but short; however I made +shift with it and slept very well, and the weather being good I was not +sick at all yet, I know not what I shall be. + +24th. At work hard all the day writing letters to the Council, &c. This +day Mr. Creed came on: board and dined very boldly with my Lord, but he +could not get a bed there. At night Capt. Isham who had been at +Gravesend all last night and to-day came and brought Mr. Lucy (one +acquainted with Mrs. Pierce, with whom I had been at her house), I drank +with him in the Captain's cabin, but my business could not stay with him. +I despatch many letters to-day abroad and it was late before we could get +to bed. Mr. Sheply and Howe supped with me in my cabin. The boy Eliezer +flung down a can of beer upon my papers which made me give him a box of +the ear, it having all spoiled my papers and cost me a great deal of work. +So to bed. + +25th. (Lord's day). About two o'clock in the morning, letters came from +London by our coxon, so they waked me, but I would not rise but bid him +stay till morning, which he did, and then I rose and carried them in to my +Lord, who read them a-bed. Among the rest, there was the writ and mandate +for him to dispose to the Cinque Ports for choice of Parliament-men. +There was also one for me from Mr. Blackburne, who with his own hand +superscribes it to S.P. Esq., of which God knows I was not a little proud. +After that I wrote a letter to the Clerk of Dover Castle, to come to my +Lord about issuing of those writs. About ten o'clock Mr. Ibbott, at the +end of the long table, begun to pray and preach and indeed made a very +good sermon, upon the duty of all Christians to be stedfast in faith. +After that Captain Cuttance and I had oysters, my Lord being in his cabin +not intending to stir out to-day. After that up into the great cabin +above to dinner with the Captain, where was Captain Isham and all the +officers of the ship. I took place of all but the Captains; after dinner +I wrote a great many letters to my friends at London. After that, sermon +again, at which I slept, God forgive me! After that, it being a fair day, +I walked with the Captain upon the deck talking. At night I supped with +him and after that had orders from my Lord about some business to be done +against to-morrow, which I sat up late and did and then to bed. + +26th. This day it is two years since it pleased God that I was cut of the +stone at Mrs. Turner's in Salisbury Court. And did resolve while I live +to keep it a festival, as I did the last year at my house, and for ever to +have Mrs. Turner and her company with me. But now it pleases God that I +am where I am and so prevented to do it openly; only within my soul I can +and do rejoice, and bless God, being at this time blessed be his holy +name, in as good health as ever I was in my life. This morning I rose +early, and went about making of an establishment of the whole Fleet, and a +list of all the ships, with the number of men and guns: About an hour +after that, we had a meeting of the principal commanders and seamen, to +proportion out the number of these things. After that to dinner, there +being very many commanders on board. All the afternoon very many orders +were made, till I was very weary. At night Mr. Sheply and W. Howe came +and brought some bottles of wine and some things to eat in my cabin, where +we were very merry, remembering the day of being cut for the stone. +Captain Cuttance came afterwards and sat drinking a bottle of wine till +eleven, a kindness he do not usually do the greatest officer in the ship. +After that to bed. + +27th. Early in the morning at making a fair new establishment of the +Fleet to send to the Council. This morning, the wind came about, and we +fell into the Hope,--[A reach of the Thames near Tilbury.]--and in our +passing by the Vice-Admiral, he and the rest of the frigates, with him, +did give us abundance of guns and we them, so much that the report of them +broke all the windows in my cabin and broke off the iron bar that was upon +it to keep anybody from creeping in at the Scuttle.--["A small hole or +port cut either in the deck or side of a ship, generally for ventilation. +That in the deck is a small hatch-way."--Smyth's Sailor's +Word-Book.]--This noon I sat the first time with my Lord at table since my +coming to sea. All the afternoon exceeding busy in writing of letters and +orders. In the afternoon, Sir Harry Wright came onboard us, about his +business of being chosen Parliament-man. My Lord brought him to see my +cabin, when I was hard a-writing. At night supped with my Lord too, with +the Captain, and after that to work again till it be very late. So to +bed. + +28th. This morning and the whole day busy, and that the more because Mr. +Burr was about his own business all the day at Gravesend. At night there +was a gentleman very well bred, his name was Banes, going for Flushing, +who spoke French and Latin very well, brought by direction from Captain +Clerke hither, as a prisoner, because he called out of the vessel that he +went in, "Where is your King, we have done our business, Vive le Roi." He +confessed himself a Cavalier in his heart, and that he and his whole +family had fought for the King; but that he was then drunk, having been +all night taking his leave at Gravesend the night before, and so could not +remember what it was that he said; but in his words and carriage showed +much of a gentleman. My Lord had a great kindness for him, but did not +think it safe to release him, but commanded him to be used civilly, so he +was taken to the Master's Cabin and had supper there. In the meantime I +wrote a letter to the Council about him, and an order for the vessel to be +sent for back that he was taken out of. But a while after, he sent a +letter down to my Lord, which my Lord did like very well, and did advise +with me what was best to be done. So I put in something to my Lord and +then to the Captain that the gentleman was to be released and the letter +stopped, which was done. So I went up and sat and talked with him in +Latin and French, and drank a bottle or two with him; and about eleven at +night he took boat again, and so God bless him. Thence I to my cabin and +to bed. This day we had news of the election at Huntingdon for Bernard +and Pedly, at which my Lord was much troubled for his friends' missing of +it. + +29th. We lie still a little below Gravesend. At night Mr. Sheply +returned from London, and told us of several elections for the next +Parliament. That the King's effigies was new making to be set up in the +Exchange again. This evening was a great whispering of some of the +Vice-Admiral's captains that they were dissatisfied, and did intend to +fight themselves, to oppose the General. But it was soon hushed, and the +Vice-Admiral did wholly deny any such thing, and protested to stand by the +General. At night Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, and I supped in my cabin. So up +to the Master's cabin, where we sat talking, and then to bed. + +30th. I was saluted in the morning with two letters, from some that I had +done a favour to, which brought me in each a piece of gold. This day, +while my Lord and we were at dinner, the Nazeby came in sight towards us, +and at last came to anchor close by us. After dinner my Lord and many +others went on board her, where every thing was out of order, and a new +chimney made for my Lord in his bedchamber, which he was much pleased +with. My Lord, in his discourse, discovered a great deal of love to this +ship. + +31st. This morning Captain Jowles of the "Wexford" came on board, for +whom I got commission from my Lord to be commander of the ship. Upon the +doing thereof he was to make the 20s. piece that he sent me yesterday, up +L5; wherefore he sent me a bill that he did owe me L4., which I sent my +boy to Gravesend with him, and he did give the boy L4 for me, and the boy +gave him the bill under his hand. This morning, Mr. Hill that lives in +Axe-yard was here on board with the Vice-Admiral. I did give him a bottle +of wine, and was exceedingly satisfied of the power that I have to make my +friends welcome. Many orders to make all the afternoon. At night Mr. +Sheply, Howe, Ibbott, and I supped in my cabin together. + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + APRIL + 1660 + +April 1st (Lord's day). Mr. Ibbott preached very well. After dinner my +Lord did give me a private list of all the ships that were to be set out +this summer, wherein I do discern that he bath made it his care to put by +as much of the Anabaptists as he can. By reason of my Lord and my being +busy to send away the packet by Mr. Cooke of the Nazeby, it was four +o'clock before we could begin sermon again. This day Captain Guy come on +board from Dunkirk, who tells me that the King will come in, and that the +soldiers at Dunkirk do drink the King's health in the streets. At night +the Captain, Sir R. Stayner, Mr. Sheply, and I did sup together in the +Captain's cabin. I made a commission for Captain Wilgness, of the Bear, +to-night, which got me 30s. So after writing a while I went to bed. + +2d. Up very early, and to get all my things and my boy's packed up. Great +concourse of commanders here this morning to take leave of my Lord upon +his going into the Nazeby, so that the table was full, so there dined +below many commanders, and Mr. Creed, who was much troubled to hear that +he could not go along with my Lord, for he had already got all his things +thither, thinking to stay there, but W. Howe was very high against it, and +he indeed did put him out, though everybody was glad of it. After dinner I +went in one of the boats with my boy before my Lord, and made shift before +night to get my cabin in pretty good order. It is but little, but very +convenient, having one window to the sea and another to the deck, and a +good bed. This morning comes Mr. Ed. Pickering, like a coxcomb as he +always was. He tells me that the King will come in, but that Monk did +resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder it. + +3d. Late to bed. About three in the morning there was great knocking at +my cabin, which with much difficulty (so they say) waked me, and I rose, +but it was only for a packet, so went to my bed again, and in the morning +gave it my Lord. This morning Capt. Isham comes on board to see my Lord +and drunk his wine before he went into the Downs, there likewise come many +merchants to get convoy to the Baltique, which a course was taken for. +They dined with my Lord, and one of them by name Alderman Wood talked much +to my Lord of the hopes that we have now to be settled, (under the King he +meant); but my Lord took no notice of it. After dinner which was late my +Lord went on shore, and after him I and Capt. Sparling went in his boat, +but the water being almost at low water we could not stay for fear of not +getting into our boat again. So back again. This day come the Lieutenant +of the Swiftsure, who was sent by my Lord to Hastings, one of the Cinque +Ports, to have got Mr. Edward Montagu to have been one of their burgesses, +but could not, for they were all promised before. After he had done his +message, I took him and Mr. Pierce, the surgeon (who this day came on +board, and not before), to my cabin, where we drank a bottle of wine. At +night, busy a-writing, and so to bed. My heart exceeding heavy for not +hearing of my dear wife, and indeed I do not remember that ever my heart +was so apprehensive of her absence as at this very time. + +4th. This morning I dispatch many letters of my own private business to +London. There come Colonel Thomson with the wooden leg, and General Pen, + + [This is the first mention in the Diary of Admiral (afterwards Sir + William) Penn, with whom Pepys was subsequently so particularly + intimate. At this time admirals were sometimes styled generals. + William Penn was born at Bristol in 1621, of the ancient family of + the Penns of Penn Lodge, Wilts. He was Captain at the age of + twenty-one; Rear-Admiral of Ireland at twenty-three; Vice-Admiral of + England and General in the first Dutch war, at thirty-two. He was + subsequently M.P. for Weymouth, Governor of Kingsale, and Vice- + Admiral of Munster. He was a highly successful commander, and in + 1654 he obtained possession of Jamaica. He was appointed a + Commissioner of the Navy in 1660, in which year he was knighted. + After the Dutch fight in 1665, where he distinguished himself as + second in command under the Duke of York, he took leave of the sea, + but continued to act as a Commissioner for the Navy till 1669, when + he retired to Wanstead, on account of his bodily infirmities, and + dying there, September 16th, 1670, aged forty-nine, was buried in + the church of St. Mary Redcliffe, in Bristol, where a monument to + his memory was erected.] + +and dined with my Lord and Mr. Blackburne, who told me that it was certain +now that the King must of necessity come in, and that one of the Council +told him there is something doing in order to a treaty already among them. +And it was strange to hear how Mr. Blackburne did already begin to commend +him for a sober man, and how quiet he would be under his government, &c. +I dined all alone to prevent company, which was exceeding great to-day, in +my cabin. After these two were gone Sir W. Wheeler and Sir John Petters +came on board and staid about two or three hours, and so went away. The +Commissioners came to-day, only to consult about a further reducement of +the Fleet, and to pay them as fast as they can. I did give Davis, their +servant, L5 10s. to give to Mr. Moore from me, in part of the L7 that I +borrowed of him, and he is to discount the rest out of the 36s. that he do +owe me. At night, my Lord resolved to send the Captain of our ship to +Waymouth and promote his being chosen there, which he did put himself into +a readiness to do the next morning. + +5th. Infinity of business all the morning of orders to make, that I was +very much perplexed that Mr. Burr had failed me of coming back last night, +and we ready to set sail, which we did about noon, and came in the evening +to Lee roads and anchored. At night Mr. Sheply overtook us who had been +at Gray's Market this morning. I spent all the afternoon upon the deck, +it being very pleasant weather. This afternoon Sir Rich. Stayner and Mr. +Creed, after we were come to anchor, did come on board, and Creed brought +me L30, which my Lord had ordered him to pay me upon account, and Captain +Clerke brought me a noted caudle. At night very sleepy to bed. + +6th. This morning came my brother-in-law Balty to see me, and to desire +to be here with me as Reformado,--["a broken or disbanded officer."] which +did much trouble me. But after dinner (my Lord using him very civilly, at +table) I spoke to my Lord, and he presented me a letter to Captain Stokes +for him that he should be there. All the day with him walking and +talking, we under sail as far as the Spitts. In the afternoon, W. Howe +and I to our viallins, the first time since we came on board. This +afternoon I made even with my Lord to this day, and did give him all the +money remaining in my hands. In the evening, it being fine moonshine, I +staid late walking upon the quarter-deck with Mr. Cuttance, learning of +some sea terms; and so down to supper and to bed, having an hour before +put Balty into Burr's cabin, he being out of the ship. + +7th. This day, about nine o'clock in the morning, the wind grew high, and +we being among the sands lay at anchor; I began to be dizzy and squeamish. +Before dinner my Lord sent for me down to eat some oysters, the best my +Lord said that ever he ate in his life, though I have ate as good at +Bardsey. After dinner, and all the afternoon I walked upon the deck to +keep myself from being sick, and at last about five o'clock, went to bed +and got a caudle made me, and sleep upon it very well. This day Mr. +Sheply went to Sheppy. + +8th (Lord's day). Very calm again, and I pretty well, but my head aked +all day. About noon set sail; in our way I see many vessels and masts, +which are now the greatest guides for ships. We had a brave wind all the +afternoon, and overtook two good merchantmen that overtook us yesterday, +going to the East Indies. The lieutenant and I lay out of his window with +his glass, looking at the women that were on board them, being pretty +handsome. This evening Major Willoughby, who had been here three or four +days on board with Mr. Pickering, went on board a catch [ketch] for +Dunkirk. We continued sailing when I went to bed, being somewhat ill +again, and Will Howe, the surgeon, parson, and Balty supped in the +Lieutenant's cabin and afterwards sat disputing, the parson for and I +against extemporary prayers, very hot. + +9th. We having sailed all night, were come in sight of the Nore and South +Forelands in the morning, and so sailed all day. In the afternoon we had +a very fresh gale, which I brooked better than I thought I should be able +to do. This afternoon I first saw France and Calais, with which I was +much pleased, though it was at a distance. About five o'clock we came to +the Goodwin, so to the Castles about Deal; where our Fleet lay, among whom +we anchored. Great was the shout of guns from the castles and ships, and +our answers, that I never heard yet so great rattling of guns. Nor could +we see one another on board for the smoke that was among us, nor one ship +from another. Soon as we came to anchor, the captains came from on board +their ships all to us on board. This afternoon I wrote letters for my +Lord to the Council, &c., which Mr. Dickering was to carry, who took his +leave this night of my Lord, and Balty after I had wrote two or three +letters by him to my wife and Mr. Bowyer, and had drank a bottle of wine +with him in my cabin which J. Goods and W. Howe brought on purpose, he +took leave of me too to go away to-morrow morning with Mr. Dickering. I +lent Balty 15s. which he was to pay to my wife. It was one in the morning +before we parted. This evening Mr. Sheply came on board, having escaped a +very great danger upon a sand coming from Chatham. + +10th. This morning many or most of the commanders in the Fleet came on +board and dined here, so that some of them and I dined together in the +Round-house, where we were very merry. Hither came the Vice-Admiral to +us, and sat and talked and seemed a very good-natured man. At night as I +was all alone in my cabin, in a melancholy fit playing on my viallin, my +Lord and Sir R. Stayner came into the coach + + ["A sort of chamber or apartment in a large ship of war, just before + the great cabin. The floor of it is formed by the aftmost part of + the quarter deck, and the roof of it by the poop: it is generally + the habitation of the flag-captain."--Smyth's Sailor's Word-Book.] + +and supped there, and called me out to supper with them. After that up to +the Lieutenant's cabin, where he and I and Sir Richard sat till 11 o'clock +talking, and so to bed. This day my Lord Goring returned from France, and +landed at Dover. + +11th. A Gentleman came this morning from my Lord of Manchester to my Lord +for a pass for Mr. Boyle,' which was made him. I ate a good breakfast by +my Lord's orders with him in the great cabin below. The wind all this day +was very high, so that a gentleman that was at dinner with my Lord that +came along with Sir John Bloys (who seemed a fine man) was forced to rise +from table. This afternoon came a great packet of letters from London +directed to me, among the rest two from my wife, the first that I have +since coming away from London. All the news from London is that things go +on further towards a King. That the Skinners' Company the other day at +their entertaining of General Monk had took down the Parliament Arms in +their Hall, and set up the King's. In the evening my Lord and I had a +great deal of discourse about the several Captains of the Fleet and his +interest among them, and had his mind clear to bring in the King. He +confessed to me that he was not sure of his own Captain [Cuttance] to be +true to him, and that he did not like Captain Stokes. At night W. Howe and +I at our viallins in my cabin, where Mr. Ibbott and the lieutenant were +late. I staid the lieutenant late, shewing him my manner of keeping a +journal. After that to bed. It comes now into my mind to observe that I +am sensible that I have been a little too free to make mirth with the +minister of our ship, he being a very sober and an upright man. + +12th. This day, the weather being very bad, we had no strangers on board. +In the afternoon came the Vice-Admiral on board, with whom my Lord +consulted, and I sent a packet to London at night with several letters to +my friends, as to my wife about my getting of money for her when she +should need it, to Mr. Bowyer that he tell me when the Messieurs of the +offices be paid, to Mr. Moore about the business of my office, and making +even with him as to matter of money. At night after I had despatched my +letters, to bed. + +13th. This day very foul all day for rain and wind. In the afternoon set +my own things in my cabin and chests in better order than hitherto, and +set my papers in order. At night sent another packet to London by the +post, and after that was done I went up to the lieutenant's cabin and +there we broached a vessel of ale that we had sent for among us from Deal +to-day. There was the minister and doctor with us. After that till one +o'clock in the morning writing letters to Mr. Downing about my business of +continuing my office to myself, only Mr. Moore to execute it for me. I had +also a very serious and effectual letter from my Lord to him to that +purpose. After that done then to bed, and it being very rainy, and the +rain coming upon my bed, I went and lay with John Goods in the great cabin +below, the wind being so high that we were faro to lower some of the +masts. I to bed, and what with the goodness of the bed and the rocking of +the ship I slept till almost ten o'clock, and then-- + +14th. Rose and drank a good morning draught there with Mr. Sheply, which +occasioned my thinking upon the happy life that I live now, had I nothing +to care for but myself. The sea was this morning very high, and looking +out of the window I saw our boat come with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, in it +in great danger, who endeavouring to come on board us, had like to have +been drowned had it not been for a rope. This day I was informed that my +Lord Lambert is got out of the Towers and that there is L100 proffered to +whoever shall bring him forth to the Council of State. + + [The manner of the escape of John Lambert, out of the Tower, on the + 11th inst., as related by Rugge:--"That about eight of the clock at + night he escaped by a rope tied fast to his window, by which he slid + down, and in each hand he had a handkerchief; and six men were ready + to receive him, who had a barge to hasten him away. She who made + the bed, being privy to his escape, that night, to blind the warder + when he came to lock the chamber-door, went to bed, and possessed + Colonel Lambert's place, and put on his night-cap. So, when the + said warder came to lock the door, according to his usual manner, he + found the curtains drawn, and conceiving it to be Colonel John + Lambert, he said, 'Good night, my Lord.' To which a seeming voice + replied, and prevented all further jealousies. The next morning, on + coming to unlock the door, and espying her face, he cried out, 'In + the name of God, Joan, what makes you here? Where is my Lord + Lambert?' She said, 'He is gone; but I cannot tell whither.' + Whereupon he caused her to rise, and carried her before the officer + in the Tower, and [she] was committed to custody. Some said that a + lady knit for him a garter of silk, by which he was conveyed down, + and that she received L100 for her pains."--B] + +My Lord is chosen at Waymouth this morning; my Lord had his freedom +brought him by Captain Tiddiman of the port of Dover, by which he is +capable of being elected for them. This day I heard that the Army had in +general declared to stand by what the next Parliament shall do. At night +supped with my Lord. + +15th (Lord's day). Up early and was trimmed by the barber in the great +cabin below. After that to put my clothes on and then to sermon, and then +to dinner, where my Lord told us that the University of Cambridge had a +mind to choose him for their burgess, which he pleased himself with, to +think that they do look upon him as a thriving man, and said so openly at +table. At dinner-time Mr. Cook came back from London with a packet which +caused my Lord to be full of thoughts all day, and at night he bid me +privately to get two commissions ready, one for Capt. Robert Blake to be +captain of the Worcester, in the room of Capt. Dekings, an anabaptist, and +one that had witnessed a great deal of discontent with the present +proceedings. The other for Capt. Coppin to come out of that into the +Newbury in the room of Blake, whereby I perceive that General Monk do +resolve to make a thorough change, to make way for the King. From London I +hear that since Lambert got out of the Tower, the Fanatiques had held up +their heads high, but I hope all that will come to nothing. Late a +writing of letters to London to get ready for Mr. Cook. Then to bed. + +16th. And about 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Cook waked me where I lay in +the great cabin below, and I did give him his packet and directions for +London. So to sleep again. All the morning giving out orders and tickets +to the Commanders of the Fleet to discharge all supernumeraries that they +had above the number that the Council had set in their last establishment. +After dinner busy all the afternoon writing, and so till night, then to +bed. + +17th. All the morning getting ready commissions for the Vice-Admiral and +the Rear-Admiral, wherein my Lord was very careful to express the utmost +of his own power, commanding them to obey what orders they should receive +from the Parliament, &c., or both or either of the Generals. + + [Sir Edward Montagu afterwards recommended the Duke of York as High + Admiral, to give regular and lawful commissions to the Commanders of + the Fleet, instead of those which they had received from Sir Edward + himself, or from the Rump Parliament.--Kennett's Register, p. 163.] + +The Vice-Admiral dined with us, and in the afternoon my Lord called me to +give him the commission for him, which I did, and he gave it him himself. +A very pleasant afternoon, and I upon the deck all the day, it was so +clear that my Lord's glass shewed us Calais very plain, and the cliffs +were as plain to be seen as Kent, and my Lord at first made me believe +that it was Kent. At night, after supper, my Lord called for the +Rear-Admiral's commission, which I brought him, and I sitting in my study +heard my Lord discourse with him concerning D. King's and Newberry's being +put out of commission. And by the way I did observe that my Lord did +speak more openly his mind to me afterwards at night than I can find that +he did to the Rear-Admiral, though his great confidant. For I was with +him an hour together, when he told me clearly his thoughts that the King +would carry it, and that he did think himself very happy that he was now +at sea, as well for his own sake, as that he thought he might do his +country some service in keeping things quiet. To bed, and shifting myself +from top to toe, there being J. Goods and W. Howe sat late by my bedside +talking. So to sleep, every day bringing me a fresh sense of the pleasure +of my present life. + +18th. This morning very early came Mr. Edward Montagu on board, but what +was the business of his coming again or before without any servant and +making no stay at all I cannot guess. This day Sir R. Stayner, Mr. +Sheply, and as many of my Lord's people as could be spared went to Dover +to get things ready against to-morrow for the election there. I all the +afternoon dictating in my cabin (my own head being troubled with +multiplicity of business) to Burr, who wrote for me above a dozen letters, +by which I have made my mind more light and clear than I have had it yet +since I came on board. At night sent a packet to London, and Mr. Cook +returned hence bringing me this news, that the Sectaries do talk high what +they will do, but I believe all to no purpose, but the Cavaliers are +something unwise to talk so high on the other side as they do. That the +Lords do meet every day at my Lord of Manchester's, and resolve to sit the +first day of the Parliament. That it is evident now that the General and +the Council do resolve to make way for the King's coming. And it is now +clear that either the Fanatiques must now be undone, or the gentry and +citizens throughout England, and clergy must fall, in spite of their +militia and army, which is not at all possible I think. At night I supped +with W. Howe and Mr. Luellin (being the first time that I had been so long +with him) in the great cabin below. After that to bed, and W. Howe sat by +my bedside, and he and I sang a psalm or two and so I to sleep. + +19th. A great deal of business all this day, and Burr being gone to shore +without my leave did vex me much. At dinner news was brought us that my +Lord was chosen at Dover. This afternoon came one Mr. Mansell on board as +a Reformado, to whom my Lord did shew exceeding great respect, but upon +what account I do not yet know. This day it has rained much, so that when +I came to go to bed I found it wet through, so I was fain to wrap myself +up in a dry sheet, and so lay all night. + +20th. All the morning I was busy to get my window altered, and to have my +table set as I would have it, which after it was done I was infinitely +pleased with it, and also to see what a command I have to have every one +ready to come and go at my command. This evening came Mr. Boyle on board, +for whom I writ an order for a ship to transport him to Flushing. He +supped with my Lord, my Lord using him as a person of honour. This +evening too came Mr. John Pickering on board us. This evening my head +ached exceedingly, which I impute to my sitting backwards in my cabin, +otherwise than I am used to do. To-night Mr. Sheply told me that he heard +for certain at Dover that Mr. Edw. Montagu did go beyond sea when he was +here first the other day, and I am apt to believe that he went to speak +with the King. This day one told me how that at the election at Cambridge +for knights of the shire, Wendby and Thornton by declaring to stand for +the Parliament and a King and the settlement of the Church, did carry it +against all expectation against Sir Dudley North and Sir Thomas Willis! I +supped to-night with Mr. Sheply below at the half-deck table, and after +that I saw Mr. Pickering whom my Lord brought down to his cabin, and so to +bed. + +21st. This day dined Sir John Boys + + [Of Bonnington and Sandwich, Gentleman of the Privy-Chamber to + Charles I. He defended Donnington Castle, Berkshire, for the King + against Jeremiah Horton, 1644, and received an augmentation to his + arms in consequence.] + +and some other gentlemen formerly great Cavaliers, and among the rest one +Mr. Norwood, for whom my Lord give a convoy to carry him to the +Brill,--[Brielle, or Den Briel, a seaport town in the province of South +Holland.]--but he is certainly going to the King. For my Lord commanded +me that I should not enter his name in my book. My Lord do show them and +that sort of people great civility. All their discourse and others are of +the King's coming, and we begin to speak of it very freely. And heard how +in many churches in London, and upon many signs there, and upon merchants' +ships in the river, they had set up the King's arms. In the afternoon the +Captain would by all means have me up to his cabin, and there treated me +huge nobly, giving me a barrel of pickled oysters, and opened another for +me, and a bottle of wine, which was a very great favour. At night late +singing with W. Howe, and under the barber's hands in the coach. This +night there came one with a letter from Mr. Edw. Montagu to my Lord, with +command to deliver it to his own hands. I do believe that he do carry +some close business on for the King. + + [Pepys's guess at E. Montagu's business is confirmed by Clarendon's + account of his employment of him to negotiate with Lord Sandwich on + behalf of the King. ("History of the Rebellion," book xvi.)--Notes + and Queries, vol. x. p. 3--M. B.] + +This day I had a large letter from Mr. Moore, giving me an account of the +present dispute at London that is like to be at the beginning of the +Parliament, about the House of Lords, who do resolve to sit with the +Commons, as not thinking themselves dissolved yet. Which, whether it be +granted or no, or whether they will sit or no, it will bring a great many +inconveniences. His letter I keep, it being a very well writ one. + +22d (Easter Sunday). Several Londoners, strangers, friends of the +Captains, dined here, who, among other things told us, how the King's Arms +are every day set up in houses and churches, particularly in Allhallows +Church in Thames-street, John Simpson's church, which being privately done +was, a great eye-sore to his people when they came to church and saw it. +Also they told us for certain, that the King's statue is making by the +Mercers' Company (who are bound to do it) to set up in the Exchange. +After sermon in the afternoon I fell to writing letters against to-morrow +to send to London. After supper to bed. + +23rd. All the morning very busy getting my packet ready for London, only +for an hour or two had the Captain and Mr. Sheply in my cabin at the +barrel of pickled oysters that the Captain did give me on Saturday last. +After dinner I sent Mr. Dunn to London with the packet. This afternoon I +had 40s. given me by Captain Cowes of the Paradox.' In the evening the +first time that we had any sport among the seamen, and indeed there was +extraordinary good sport after my Lord had done playing at ninepins. After +that W. Howe and I went to play two trebles in the great cabin below, +which my Lord hearing, after supper he called for our instruments, and +played a set of Lock's, two trebles, and a base, and that being done, he +fell to singing of a song made upon the Rump, with which he played himself +well, to the tune of "The Blacksmith." After all that done, then to bed. + + ["The Blacksmith" was the same tune as "Green Sleeves." The + earliest known copy of "The Praise of the Blacksmith" is in "An + Antidote against Melancholy," 1661. See "Roxburghe Ballads," ed. + W. Chappell, 1872, vol. ii. p. 126. (Ballad Society:)] + +24th. This morning I had Mr. Luellin and Mr. Sheply to the remainder of +my oysters that were left yesterday. After that very busy all the +morning. While I was at dinner with my Lord, the Coxon of the +Vice-Admiral came for me to the Vice-Admiral to dinner. So I told my Lord +and he gave me leave to go. I rose therefore from table and went, where +there was very many commanders, and very pleasant we were on board the +London, which hath a state-room much bigger than the Nazeby, but not so +rich. After that, with the Captain on board our own ship, where we were +saluted with the news of Lambert's being taken, which news was brought to +London on Sunday last. He was taken in Northamptonshire by Colonel +Ingoldsby, at the head of a party, by which means their whole design is +broke, and things now very open and safe. And every man begins to be +merry and full of hopes. In the afternoon my Lord gave a great large +character to write out, so I spent all the day about it, and after supper +my Lord and we had some more very good musique and singing of "Turne +Amaryllis," as it is printed in the song book, with which my Lord was very +much pleased. After that to bed. + +25th. All the morning about my Lord's character. Dined to-day with +Captain Clerke on board the Speaker (a very brave ship) where was the +Vice-Admiral, Rear-Admiral, and many other commanders. After dinner home, +not a little contented to see how I am treated, and with what respect made +a fellow to the best commanders in the Fleet. All the afternoon finishing +of the character, which I did and gave it my Lord, it being very +handsomely done and a very good one in itself, but that not truly +Alphabetical. Supped with Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, &c. in Mr. Pierce, the +Purser's cabin, where very merry, and so to bed. Captain Isham came +hither to-day. + +26th. This day came Mr. Donne back from London, who brought letters with +him that signify the meeting of the Parliament yesterday. And in the +afternoon by other letters I hear, that about twelve of the Lords met and +had chosen my Lord of Manchester' Speaker of the House of Lords (the young +Lords that never sat yet, do forbear to sit for the present); and Sir +Harbottle Grimstone, Speaker for the House of Commons. The House of Lords +sent to have a conference with the House of Commons, which, after a little +debate, was granted. Dr. Reynolds' preached before the Commons before +they sat. My Lord told me how Sir H. Yelverton (formerly my +school-fellow) was chosen in the first place for Northamptonshire and Mr. +Crew in the second. And told me how he did believe that the Cavaliers +have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians. All the afternoon I +was writing of letters, among the rest one to W. Simons, Peter Luellin and +Tom Doling, which because it is somewhat merry I keep a copy of. After +that done Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I down with J. Goods into my Lord's +storeroom of wine and other drink, where it was very pleasant to observe +the massy timbers that the ship is made of. We in the room were wholly +under water and yet a deck below that. After that to supper, where Tom +Guy supped with us, and we had very good laughing, and after that some +musique, where Mr. Pickering beginning to play a bass part upon the viall +did it so like a fool that I was ashamed of him. After that to bed. + +27th. This morning Burr was absent again from on board, which I was +troubled at, and spoke to Mr. Pierce, Purser, to speak to him of it, and +it is my mind. This morning Pim [the tailor] spent in my cabin, putting a +great many ribbons to a suit. After dinner in the afternoon came on board +Sir Thomas Hatton and Sir R. Maleverer going for Flushing; but all the +world know that they go where the rest of the many gentlemen go that every +day flock to the King at Breda. + + [The King arrived at Breda on the 14th April. Sir W. Lower writes + ("Voiage and Residence of Charles II. in Holland," p. 5): "Many + considerations obliged him to depart the territories under the + obedience of the King of Spain in this conjuncture of affairs."] + +They supped here, and my Lord treated them as he do the rest that go +thither, with a great deal of civility. While we were at supper a packet +came, wherein much news from several friends. The chief is that, that I +had from Mr. Moore, viz. that he fears the Cavaliers in the House will be +so high, that the others will be forced to leave the House and fall in +with General Monk, and so offer things to the King so high on the +Presbyterian account that he may refuse, and so they will endeavour some +more mischief; but when I told my Lord it, he shook his head and told me, +that the Presbyterians are deceived, for the General is certainly for the +King's interest, and so they will not be able to prevail that way with +him. After supper the two knights went on board the Grantham, that is to +convey them to Flushing. I am informed that the Exchequer is now so low, +that there is not L20 there, to give the messenger that brought the news +of Lambert's being taken; which story is very strange that he should lose +his reputation of being a man of courage now at one blow, for that he was +not able to fight one stroke, but desired of Colonel Ingoldsby several +times for God's sake to let him escape. Late reading my letters, my mind +being much troubled to think that, after all our hopes, we should have any +cause to fear any more disappointments therein. To bed. This day I made +even with Mr. Creed, by sending him my bill and he me my money by Burr +whom I sent for it. + +28th. This morning sending a packet by Mr. Dunne to London. In the +afternoon I played at ninepins with Mr. Pickering, I and Mr. Pett against +him and Ted Osgood, and won a crown apiece of him. He had not money +enough to pay me. After supper my Lord exceeding merry, and he and I and +W. Howe to sing, and so to bed. + +29th (Sunday). This day I put on first my fine cloth suit made of a cloak +that had like to have been [dirted] a year ago, the very day that I put it +on. After sermon in the morning Mr. Cook came from London with a packet, +bringing news how all the young lords that were not in arms against the +Parliament do now sit. That a letter is come from the King to the House, +which is locked up by the Council 'till next Tuesday that it may be read +in the open House when they meet again, they having adjourned till then to +keep a fast tomorrow. And so the contents is not yet known. L13,000 of +the L20,000 given to General Monk is paid out of the Exchequer, he giving +L12 among the teller clerks of Exchequer. My Lord called me into the +great cabin below, where I opened my letters and he told me that the +Presbyterians are quite mastered by the Cavaliers, and that he fears Mr. +Crew did go a little too far the other day in keeping out the young lords +from sitting. That he do expect that the King should be brought over +suddenly, without staying to make any terms at all, saying that the +Presbyterians did intend to have brought him in with such conditions as if +he had been in chains. But he shook his shoulders when he told me how +Monk had betrayed him, for it was he that did put them upon standing to +put out the lords and other members that came not within the +qualifications, which he [Montagu] did not like, but however he [Monk] had +done his business, though it be with some kind of baseness. After dinner +I walked a great while upon the deck with the chyrurgeon and purser, and +other officers of the ship, and they all pray for the King's coming, which +I pray God send. + +30th. All the morning getting instructions ready for the Squadron of +ships that are going to-day to the Streights, among others Captain +Teddiman, Curtis, and Captain Robert Blake to be commander of the whole +Squadron. After dinner to ninepins, W. Howe and I against Mr. Creed and +the Captain. We lost 5s. apiece to them. After that W. Howe, Mr. Sheply +and I got my Lord's leave to go to see Captain Sparling. So we took boat +and first went on shore, it being very pleasant in the fields; but a very +pitiful town Deal is. We went to Fuller's (the famous place for ale), but +they have none but what was in the vat. After that to Poole's, a tavern +in the town, where we drank, and so to boat again, and went to the +Assistance, where we were treated very civilly by the Captain, and he did +give us such music upon the harp by a fellow that he keeps on board that I +never expect to hear the like again, yet he is a drunken simple fellow to +look on as any I ever saw. After that on board the Nazeby, where we found +my Lord at supper, so I sat down and very pleasant my Lord was with Mr. +Creed and Sheply, who he puzzled about finding out the meaning of the +three notes which my Lord had cut over the chrystal of his watch. After +supper some musique. Then Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I up to the +Lieutenant's cabin, where we drank, and I and W. Howe were very merry, and +among other frolics he pulls out the spigot of the little vessel of ale +that was there in the cabin and drew some into his mounteere, and after he +had drank, I endeavouring to dash it in his face, he got my velvet +studying cap and drew some into mine too, that we made ourselves a great +deal of mirth, but spoiled my clothes with the ale that we dashed up and +down. After that to bed very late with drink enough in my head. + + + + + ETEXT EDITOR'S BOOKMARKS: + + Cavaliers have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians + Resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder it + Strange thing how I am already courted by the people + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Diary of Samuel Pepys, March/April +1659/1660, by Samuel Pepys + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, *** + +***** This file should be named 4120.txt or 4120.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/2/4120/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
