+
+January 1st (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed, having been busy late last
+night, then up and to my office, where upon ordering my accounts and
+papers with respect to my understanding my last year's gains and expense,
+which I find very great, as I have already set down yesterday.  Now this
+day I am dividing my expense, to see what my clothes and every particular
+hath stood me in: I mean all the branches of my expense.  At noon a good
+venison pasty and a turkey to ourselves without any body so much as
+invited by us, a thing unusuall for so small a family of my condition: but
+we did it and were very merry.  After dinner to my office again, where
+very late alone upon my accounts, but have not brought them to order yet,
+and very intricate I find it, notwithstanding my care all the year to keep
+things in as good method as any man can do.  Past 11 o'clock home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+2nd.  Up, and it being a most fine, hard frost I walked a good way toward
+White Hall, and then being overtaken with Sir W. Pen's coach, went into
+it, and with him thither, and there did our usual business with the Duke.
+Thence, being forced to pay a great deale of money away in boxes (that is,
+basins at White Hall), I to my barber's, Gervas, and there had a little
+opportunity of speaking with my Jane alone, and did give her something,
+and of herself she did tell me a place where I might come to her on Sunday
+next, which I will not fail, but to see how modestly and harmlessly she
+brought it out was very pretty.  Thence to the Swan, and there did sport a
+good while with Herbert's young kinswoman without hurt, though they being
+abroad, the old people.  Then to the Hall, and there agreed with Mrs.
+Martin, and to her lodgings which she has now taken to lie in, in Bow
+Streete, pitiful poor things, yet she thinks them pretty, and so they are
+for her condition I believe good enough.  Here I did 'ce que je voudrais
+avec' her most freely, and it having cost 2s. in wine and cake upon her, I
+away sick of her impudence, and by coach to my Lord Brunker's, by
+appointment, in the Piazza, in Covent-Guarding; where I occasioned much
+mirth with a ballet I brought with me, made from the seamen at sea to
+their ladies in town; saying Sir W. Pen, Sir G. Ascue, and Sir J. Lawson
+made them.  Here a most noble French dinner and banquet, the best I have
+seen this many a day and good discourse. Thence to my bookseller's and at
+his binder's saw Hooke's book of the Microscope,
+
+     ["Micrographia: or some physiological descriptions of minute bodies
+     made by Magnifying Glasses.  London, 1665," a very remarkable work
+     with elaborate plates, some of which have been used for lecture
+     illustrations almost to our own day.  On November 23rd, 1664, the
+     President of the Royal Society was "desired to sign a licence for
+     printing of Mr. Hooke's microscopical book."  At this time the book
+     was mostly printed, but it was delayed, much to Hooke's disgust, by
+     the examination of several Fellows of the Society.  In spite of this
+     examination the council were anxious that the author should make it
+     clear that he alone was responsible for any theory put forward, and
+     they gave him notice to that effect.  Hooke made this clear in his
+     dedication (see Birch's "History," vol. i., pp. 490-491)]
+
+which is so pretty that I presently bespoke it, and away home to the
+office, where we met to do something, and then though very late by coach
+to Sir Ph. Warwicke's, but having company with him could not speak with
+him.  So back again home, where thinking to be merry was vexed with my
+wife's having looked out a letter in Sir Philip Sidney about jealousy for
+me to read, which she industriously and maliciously caused me to do, and
+the truth is my conscience told me it was most proper for me, and
+therefore was touched at it, but tooke no notice of it, but read it out
+most frankly, but it stucke in my stomach, and moreover I was vexed to
+have a dog brought to my house to line our little bitch, which they make
+him do in all their sights, which, God forgive me, do stir my jealousy
+again, though of itself the thing is a very immodest sight.  However, to
+cards with my wife a good while, and then to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up, and by coach to Sir Ph. Warwicke's, the streete being full of
+footballs, it being a great frost, and found him and Mr. Coventry walking
+in St. James's Parke.  I did my errand to him about the felling of the
+King's timber in the forests, and then to my Lord of Oxford, Justice in
+Eyre, for his consent thereto, for want whereof my Lord Privy Seale stops
+the whole business.  I found him in his lodgings, in but an ordinary
+furnished house and roome where he was, but I find him to be a man of good
+discreet replys.  Thence to the Coffee-house, where certain newes that the
+Dutch have taken some of our colliers to the North; some say four, some
+say seven.  Thence to the 'Change a while, and so home to dinner and to
+the office, where we sat late, and then I to write my letters, and then to
+Sir W. Batten's, who is going out of towne to Harwich to-morrow to set up
+a light-house there, which he hath lately got a patent from the King to
+set up, that will turne much to his profit. Here very merry, and so to my
+office again, where very late, and then home to supper and to bed, but sat
+up with my wife at cards till past two in the morning.
+
+4th.  Lay long, and then up and to my Lord of Oxford's, but his Lordshipp
+was in bed at past ten o'clock: and, Lord helpe us! so rude a dirty family
+I never saw in my life.  He sent me out word my business was not done, but
+should against the afternoon.  I thence to the Coffee-house, there but
+little company, and so home to the 'Change, where I hear of some more of
+our ships lost to the Northward.  So to Sir W. Batten's, but he was set
+out before I got thither.  I sat long talking with my lady, and then home
+to dinner.  Then come Mr. Moore to see me, and he and I to my Lord of
+Oxford's, but not finding him within Mr. Moore and I to "Love in a Tubb,"
+which is very merry, but only so by gesture, not wit at all, which
+methinks is beneath the House.  So walked home, it being a very hard
+frost, and I find myself as heretofore in cold weather to begin to burn
+within and pimples and pricks all over my body, my pores with cold being
+shut up.  So home to supper and to cards and to bed.
+
+5th.  Up, it being very cold and a great snow and frost tonight.  To the
+office, and there all the morning.  At noon dined at home, troubled at my
+wife's being simply angry with Jane, our cook mayde (a good servant,
+though perhaps hath faults and is cunning), and given her warning to be
+gone.  So to the office again, where we sat late, and then I to my office,
+and there very late doing business.  Home to supper and to the office
+again, and then late home to bed.
+
+6th.  Lay long in bed, but most of it angry and scolding with my wife
+about her warning Jane our cookemayde to be gone and upon that she desires
+to go abroad to-day to look a place.  A very good mayde she is and fully
+to my mind, being neat, only they say a little apt to scold, but I hear
+her not.  To my office all the morning busy.  Dined at home. To my office
+again, being pretty well reconciled to my wife, which I did desire to be,
+because she had designed much mirthe to-day to end Christmas with among
+her servants.  At night home, being twelfenight, and there chose my piece
+of cake, but went up to my viall, and then to bed, leaving my wife and
+people up at their sports, which they continue till morning, not coming to
+bed at all.
+
+7th.  Up and to the office all the morning.  At noon dined alone, my wife
+and family most of them a-bed.  Then to see my Lady Batten and sit with
+her a while, Sir W. Batten being out of town, and then to my office doing
+very much business very late, and then home to supper and to bed.
+
+8th (Lord's day).  Up betimes, and it being a very fine frosty day, I and
+my boy walked to White Hall, and there to the Chappell, where one Dr.
+Beaumont' preached a good sermon, and afterwards a brave anthem upon the
+150 Psalm, where upon the word "trumpet" very good musique was made.  So
+walked to my Lady's and there dined with her (my boy going home), where
+much pretty discourse, and after dinner walked to Westminster, and there
+to the house where Jane Welsh had appointed me, but it being sermon time
+they would not let me in, and said nobody was there to speak with me.  I
+spent the whole afternoon walking into the Church and Abbey, and up and
+down, but could not find her, and so in the evening took a coach and home,
+and there sat discoursing with my wife, and by and by at supper, drinking
+some cold drink I think it was, I was forced to go make water, and had
+very great pain after it, but was well by and by and continued so, it
+being only I think from the drink, or from my straining at stool to do
+more than my body would.  So after prayers to bed.
+
+9th.  Up and walked to White Hall, it being still a brave frost, and I in
+perfect good health, blessed be God!  In my way saw a woman that broke her
+thigh, in her heels slipping up upon the frosty streete.  To the Duke, and
+there did our usual worke.  Here I saw the Royal Society bring their new
+book, wherein is nobly writ their charter' and laws, and comes to be
+signed by the Duke as a Fellow; and all the Fellows' hands are to be
+entered there, and lie as a monument; and the King hath put his with the
+word Founder.  Thence I to Westminster, to my barber's, and found occasion
+to see Jane, but in presence of her mistress, and so could not speak to
+her of her failing me yesterday, and then to the Swan to Herbert's girl,
+and lost time a little with her, and so took coach, and to my Lord Crew's
+and dined with him, who receives me with the greatest respect that could
+be, telling me that he do much doubt of the successe of this warr with
+Holland, we going about it, he doubts, by the instigation of persons that
+do not enough apprehend the consequences of the danger of it, and therein
+I do think with him.  Holmes was this day sent to the Tower,--[For taking
+New York from the Dutch]--but I perceive it is made matter of jest only;
+but if the Dutch should be our masters, it may come to be of earnest to
+him, to be given over to them for a sacrifice, as Sir W. Rawly [Raleigh]
+was.  Thence to White Hall to a Tangier Committee, where I was accosted
+and most highly complimented by my Lord Bellasses,
+
+     [John Belasyse, second son of Thomas, first Viscount Fauconberg,
+     created Baron Belasyse of Worlaby, January 27th, 1644, Lord
+     Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, and Governor of Hull.
+     He was appointed Governor of Tangier, and Captain of the Band of
+     Gentlemen Pensioners.  He was a Roman Catholic, and therefore was
+     deprived of all his appointments in 1672 by the provisions of the
+     Test Act, but in 1684 James II. made him First Commissioner of the
+     Treasury.  He died 1689.]
+
+our new governor, beyond my expectation, or measure I could imagine he
+would have given any man, as if I were the only person of business that he
+intended to rely on, and desires my correspondence with him.  This I was
+not only surprized at, but am well pleased with, and may make good use of
+it.  Our patent is renewed, and he and my Lord Barkeley, and Sir Thomas
+Ingram put in as commissioners.  Here some business happened which may
+bring me some profit.  Thence took coach and calling my wife at her
+tailor's (she being come this afternoon to bring her mother some apples,
+neat's tongues, and wine); I home, and there at my office late with Sir W.
+Warren, and had a great deal of good discourse and counsel from him, which
+I hope I shall take, being all for my good in my deportment in my office,
+yet with all honesty.  He gone I home to supper and to bed.
+
+10th.  Lay long, it being still very cold, and then to the office, where
+till dinner, and then home, and by and by to the office, where we sat and
+were very late, and I writing letters till twelve at night, and then after
+supper to bed.
+
+11th.  Up, and very angry with my boy for lying long a bed and forgetting
+his lute.  To my office all the morning.  At noon to the 'Change, and so
+home to dinner.  After dinner to Gresham College to my Lord Brunker and
+Commissioner Pett, taking, Mr. Castle with me there to discourse over his
+draught of a ship he is to build for us.  Where I first found reason to
+apprehend Commissioner Pett to be a man of an ability extraordinary in any
+thing, for I found he did turn and wind Castle like a chicken in his
+business, and that most pertinently and mister-like, and great pleasure it
+was to me to hear them discourse, I, of late having studied something
+thereof, and my Lord Brunker is a very able person also himself in this
+sort of business, as owning himself to be a master in the business of all
+lines and Conicall Sections: Thence home, where very late at my office
+doing business to my content, though [God] knows with what ado it was that
+when I was out I could get myself to come home to my business, or when I
+was there though late would stay there from going abroad again. To supper
+and to bed.  This evening, by a letter from Plymouth, I hear that two of
+our ships, the Leopard and another, in the Straights, are lost by running
+aground; and that three more had like to have been so, but got off,
+whereof Captain Allen one: and that a Dutch fleete are gone thither; which
+if they should meet with our lame ships, God knows what would become of
+them.  This I reckon most sad newes; God make us sensible of it!  This
+night, when I come home, I was much troubled to hear my poor canary bird,
+that I have kept these three or four years, is dead.
+
+12th.  Up, and to White Hall about getting a privy seal for felling of the
+King's timber for the navy, and to the Lords' House to speak with my Lord
+Privy Seale about it, and so to the 'Change, where to my last night's ill
+news I met more.  Spoke with a Frenchman who was taken, but released, by a
+Dutch man-of-war of thirty-six guns (with seven more of the like or
+greater ships), off the North Foreland, by Margett.  Which is a strange
+attempt, that they should come to our teeth; but the wind being easterly,
+the wind that should bring our force from Portsmouth, will carry them away
+home.  God preserve us against them, and pardon our making them in our
+discourse so contemptible an enemy!  So home and to dinner, where Mr.
+Hollyard with us dined.  So to the office, and there late till 11 at night
+and more, and then home to supper and to bed.
+
+13th.  Up betimes and walked to my Lord Bellasses's lodgings in Lincolne's
+Inne Fieldes, and there he received and discoursed with me in the most
+respectfull manner that could be, telling me what a character of my
+judgment, and care, and love to Tangier he had received of me, that he
+desired my advice and my constant correspondence, which he much valued,
+and in my courtship, in which, though I understand his designe very well,
+and that it is only a piece of courtship, yet it is a comfort to me that I
+am become so considerable as to have him need to say that to me, which, if
+I did not do something in the world, would never have been.  Here well
+satisfied I to Sir Ph. Warwicke, and there did some business with him;
+thence to Jervas's and there spent a little idle time with him, his wife,
+Jane, and a sweetheart of hers.  So to the Hall awhile and thence to the
+Exchange, where yesterday's newes confirmed, though in a little different
+manner; but a couple of ships in the Straights we have lost, and the Dutch
+have been in Margaret [Margate] Road.  Thence home to dinner and so abroad
+and alone to the King's house, to a play, "The Traytor," where,
+unfortunately, I met with Sir W. Pen, so that I must be forced to confess
+it to my wife, which troubles me.  Thence walked home, being ill-satisfied
+with the present actings of the House, and prefer the other House before
+this infinitely.  To my Lady Batten's, where I find Pegg Pen, the first
+time that ever I saw her to wear spots.  Here very merry, Sir W. Batten
+being looked for to-night, but is not yet come from Harwich.  So home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+14th.  Up and to White Hall, where long waited in the Duke's chamber for a
+Committee intended for Tangier, but none met, and so I home and to the
+office, where we met a little, and then to the 'Change, where our late ill
+newes confirmed in loss of two ships in the Straights, but are now the
+Phoenix and Nonsuch!  Home to dinner, thence with my wife to the King's
+house, there to see "Vulpone," a most excellent play; the best I think I
+ever saw, and well, acted.  So with Sir W. Pen home in his coach, and then
+to the office.  So home, to supper, and bed, resolving by the grace of God
+from this day to fall hard to my business again, after some weeke or
+fortnight's neglect.
+
+15th (Lord's day).  Up, and after a little at my office to prepare a fresh
+draught of my vowes for the next yeare, I to church, where a most insipid
+young coxcomb preached.  Then home to dinner, and after dinner to read in
+"Rushworth's Collections" about the charge against the late Duke of
+Buckingham, in order to the fitting me to speak and understand the
+discourse anon before the King about the suffering the Turkey merchants to
+send out their fleete at this dangerous time, when we can neither spare
+them ships to go, nor men, nor King's ships to convoy them.  At four
+o'clock with Sir W. Pen in his coach to my Lord Chancellor's, where by and
+by Mr. Coventry, Sir W. Pen, Sir J. Lawson, Sir G. Ascue, and myself were
+called in to the King, there being several of the Privy Council, and my
+Lord Chancellor lying at length upon a couch (of the goute I suppose); and
+there Sir W. Pen begun, and he had prepared heads in a paper, and spoke
+pretty well to purpose, but with so much leisure and gravity as was
+tiresome; besides, the things he said were but very poor to a man in his
+trade after a great consideration, but it was to purpose, indeed to
+dissuade the King from letting these Turkey ships to go out: saying (in
+short) the King having resolved to have 130 ships out by the spring, he
+must have above 20 of them merchantmen.  Towards which, he in the whole
+River could find but 12 or 14, and of them the five ships taken up by
+these merchants were a part, and so could not be spared. That we should
+need 30,000 [sailors] to man these 130 ships, and of them in service we
+have not above 16,000; so we shall need 14,000 more.  That these ships
+will with their convoys carry above 2,000 men, and those the best men that
+could be got; it being the men used to the Southward that are the best men
+for warr, though those bred in the North among the colliers are good for
+labour.  That it will not be safe for the merchants, nor honourable for
+the King, to expose these rich ships with his convoy of six ships to go,
+it not being enough to secure them against the Dutch, who, without doubt,
+will have a great fleete in the Straights. This, Sir J. Lawson enlarged
+upon.  Sir G. Ascue he chiefly spoke that the warr and trade could not be
+supported together, and, therefore, that trade must stand still to give
+way to them.  This Mr. Coventry seconded, and showed how the medium of the
+men the King hath one year with another employed in his Navy since his
+coming, hath not been above 3,000 men, or at most 4,000 men; and now
+having occasion of 30,000, the remaining 26,000 must be found out of the
+trade of the nation.  He showed how the cloaths, sending by these
+merchants to Turkey, are already bought and paid for to the workmen, and
+are as many as they would send these twelve months or more; so the poor do
+not suffer by their not going, but only the merchant, upon whose hands
+they lit dead; and so the inconvenience is the less.  And yet for them he
+propounded, either the King should, if his Treasure would suffer it, buy
+them, and showed the losse would not be so great to him: or, dispense with
+the Act of Navigation, and let them be carried out by strangers; and
+ending that he doubted not but when the merchants saw there was no remedy,
+they would and could find ways of sending them abroad to their profit.
+All ended with a conviction (unless future discourse with the merchants
+should alter it) that it was not fit for them to go out, though the ships
+be loaded.  The King in discourse did ask me two or three questions about
+my newes of Allen's loss in the Streights, but I said nothing as to the
+business, nor am not much sorry for it, unless the King had spoke to me as
+he did to them, and then I could have said something to the purpose I
+think.  So we withdrew, and the merchants were called in.  Staying
+without, my Lord Fitz Harding come thither, and fell to discourse of
+Prince Rupert, and made nothing to say that his disease was the pox and
+that he must be fluxed, telling the horrible degree of the disease upon
+him with its breaking out on his head.  But above all I observed how he
+observed from the Prince, that courage is not what men take it to be, a
+contempt of death; for, says he, how chagrined the Prince was the other
+day when he thought he should die, having no more mind to it than another
+man.  But, says he, some men are more apt to think they shall escape than
+another man in fight, while another is doubtfull he shall be hit.  But
+when the first man is sure he shall die, as now the Prince is, he is as
+much troubled and apprehensive of it as any man else; for, says he, since
+we told [him] that we believe he would overcome his disease, he is as
+merry, and swears and laughs and curses, and do all the things of a [man]
+in health, as ever he did in his life; which, methought, was a most
+extraordinary saying before a great many persons there of quality.  So by
+and by with Sir W. Pen home again, and after supper to the office to
+finish my vows, and so to bed.
+
+16th.  Up and with Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen to White Hall, where we
+did our business with the Duke.  Thence I to Westminster Hall and walked
+up and down.  Among others Ned Pickering met me and tells me how active my
+Lord is at sea, and that my Lord Hinchingbroke is now at Rome, and, by all
+report, a very noble and hopefull gentleman.  Thence to Mr. Povy's, and
+there met Creed, and dined well after his old manner of plenty and
+curiosity.  But I sat in pain to think whether he would begin with me
+again after dinner with his enquiry after my bill, but he did not, but
+fell into other discourse, at which I was glad, but was vexed this morning
+meeting of Creed at some bye questions that he demanded of me about some
+such thing, which made me fear he meant that very matter, but I perceive
+he did not.  Thence to visit my Lady Sandwich and so to a Tangier
+Committee, where a great company of the new Commissioners, Lords, that in
+behalfe of my Lord Bellasses are very loud and busy and call for Povy's
+accounts, but it was a most sorrowful thing to see how he answered to
+questions so little to the purpose, but to his owne wrong.  All the while
+I sensible how I am concerned in my bill of L100 and somewhat more. So
+great a trouble is fear, though in a case that at the worst will bear
+enquiry.  My Lord Barkeley was very violent against Povy.  But my Lord
+Ashly, I observe, is a most clear man in matters of accounts, and most
+ingeniously did discourse and explain all matters.  We broke up, leaving
+the thing to a Committee of which I am one.  Povy, Creed, and I staid
+discoursing, I much troubled in mind seemingly for the business, but
+indeed only on my own behalf, though I have no great reason for it, but so
+painfull a thing is fear.  So after considering how to order business,
+Povy and I walked together as far as the New Exchange and so parted, and I
+by coach home.  To the office a while, then to supper and to bed.  This
+afternoon Secretary Bennet read to the Duke of Yorke his letters, which
+say that Allen
+
+     [Among the State Papers is a letter from Captain Thomas Allin to Sir
+     Richard Fanshaw, dated from "The Plymouth, Cadiz Bay," December
+     25th, 1664, in which he writes: "On the 19th attacked with his seven
+     ships left, a Dutch fleet of fourteen, three of which were men-of-
+     war; sunk two vessels and took two others, one a rich prize from
+     Smyrna; the others retired much battered.  Has also taken a Dutch
+     prize laden with iron and planks, coming from Lisbon ("Calendar,"
+     Domestic, 1664-65, p. 122).]
+
+has met with the Dutch Smyrna fleet at Cales,--[The old form of the name
+Cadiz.]--and sunk one and taken three.  How true or what these ships are
+time will show, but it is good newes and the newes of our ships being lost
+is doubted at dales and Malaga.  God send it false!
+
+17th.  Up and walked to Mr. Povy's by appointment, where I found him and
+Creed busy about fitting things for the Committee, and thence we to my
+Lord Ashly's, where to see how simply, beyond all patience, Povy did
+again, by his many words and no understanding, confound himself and his
+business, to his disgrace, and rendering every body doubtfull of his being
+either a foole or knave, is very wonderfull.  We broke up all
+dissatisfied, and referred the business to a meeting of Mr. Sherwin and
+others to settle, but here it was mighty strange methought to find myself
+sit herein Committee with my hat on, while Mr. Sherwin stood bare as a
+clerke, with his hat off to his Lord Ashlyand the rest, but I thank God I
+think myself never a whit the better man for all that.  Thence with Creed
+to the 'Change and Coffee-house, and so home, where a brave dinner, by
+having a brace of pheasants and very merry about Povy's folly.  So anon to
+the office, and there sitting very late, and then after a little time at
+Sir W. Batten's, where I am mighty great and could if I thought it fit
+continue so, I to the office again, and there very late, and so home to
+the sorting of some of my books, and so to bed, the weather becoming
+pretty warm, and I think and hope the frost will break.
+
+18th.  Up and by and by to my bookseller's, and there did give thorough
+direction for the new binding of a great many of my old books, to make my
+whole study of the same binding, within very few.  Thence to my Lady
+Sandwich's, who sent for me this morning.  Dined with her, and it was to
+get a letter of hers conveyed by a safe hand to my Lord's owne hand at
+Portsmouth, which I did undertake.  Here my Lady did begin to talk of what
+she had heard concerning Creed, of his being suspected to be a fanatique
+and a false fellow.  I told her I thought he was as shrewd and cunning a
+man as any in England, and one that I would feare first should outwit me
+in any thing.  To which she readily concurred.  Thence to Mr. Povy's by
+agreement, and there with Mr. Sherwin, Auditor Beale, and Creed and I hard
+at it very late about Mr. Povy's accounts, but such accounts I never did
+see, or hope again to see in my days.  At night, late, they gone, I did
+get him to put out of this account our sums that are in posse only yet,
+which he approved of when told, but would never have stayed it if I had
+been gone.  Thence at 9 at night home, and so to supper vexed and my head
+akeing and to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and it being yesterday and to-day a great thaw it is not for a
+man to walk the streets, but took coach and to Mr. Povy's, and there
+meeting all of us again agreed upon an answer to the Lords by and by, and
+thence we did come to Exeter House, and there was a witness of most [base]
+language against Mr. Povy, from my Lord Peterborough, who is most
+furiously angry with him, because the other, as a foole, would needs say
+that the L26,000 was my Lord Peterborough's account, and that he had
+nothing to do with it.  The Lords did find fault also with our answer, but
+I think really my Lord Ashly would fain have the outside of an
+Exchequer,--[This word is blotted, and the whole sentence is
+confused.]--but when we come better to be examined.  So home by coach,
+with my Lord Barkeley, who, by his discourse, I find do look upon Mr.
+Coventry as an enemy, but yet professes great justice and pains.  I at
+home after dinner to the office, and there sat all the afternoon and
+evening, and then home to supper and to bed.  Memorandum.  This day and
+yesterday, I think it is the change of the weather, I have a great deal of
+pain, but nothing like what I use to have.  I can hardly keep myself
+loose, but on the contrary am forced to drive away my pain.  Here I am so
+sleepy I cannot hold open my eyes, and therefore must be forced to break
+off this day's passages more shortly than I would and should have done.
+This day was buried (but I could not be there) my cozen Percivall Angier;
+and yesterday I received the newes that Dr. Tom Pepys is dead, at
+Impington, for which I am but little sorry, not only because he would have
+been troublesome to us, but a shame to his family and profession; he was
+such a coxcomb.
+
+20th.  Up and to Westminster, where having spoke with Sir Ph. Warwicke, I
+to Jervas, and there I find them all in great disorder about Jane, her
+mistress telling me secretly that she was sworn not to reveal anything,
+but she was undone.  At last for all her oath she told me that she had
+made herself sure to a fellow that comes to their house that can only
+fiddle for his living, and did keep him company, and had plainly told her
+that she was sure to him never to leave him for any body else.  Now they
+were this day contriving to get her presently to marry one Hayes that was
+there, and I did seem to persuade her to it.  And at last got them to
+suffer me to advise privately, and by that means had her company and think
+I shall meet her next Sunday, but I do really doubt she will be undone in
+marrying this fellow.  But I did give her my advice, and so let her do her
+pleasure, so I have now and then her company.  Thence to the Swan at noon,
+and there sent for a bit of meat and dined, and had my baiser of the fille
+of the house there, but nothing plus.  So took coach and to my Lady
+Sandwich's, and so to my bookseller's, and there took home Hooke's book of
+microscopy, a most excellent piece, and of which I am very proud.  So
+home, and by and by again abroad with my wife about several businesses,
+and met at the New Exchange, and there to our trouble found our pretty
+Doll is gone away to live they say with her father in the country, but I
+doubt something worse.  So homeward, in my way buying a hare and taking it
+home, which arose upon my discourse to-day with Mr. Batten, in Westminster
+Hall, who showed me my mistake that my hare's foote hath not the joynt to
+it; and assures me he never had his cholique since he carried it about
+him: and it is a strange thing how fancy works, for I no sooner almost
+handled his foote but my belly began to be loose and to break wind, and
+whereas I was in some pain yesterday and t'other day and in fear of more
+to-day, I became very well, and so continue.  At home to my office a
+while, and so to supper, read, and to cards, and to bed.
+
+21st.  At the office all the morning.  Thence my Lord Brunker carried me
+as far as Mr. Povy's, and there I 'light and dined, meeting Mr. Sherwin,
+Creed, &c., there upon his accounts.  After dinner they parted and Mr.
+Povy carried me to Somersett House, and there showed me the
+Queene-Mother's chamber and closett, most beautiful places for furniture
+and pictures; and so down the great stone stairs to the garden, and tried
+the brave echo upon the stairs; which continues a voice so long as the
+singing three notes, concords, one after another, they all three shall
+sound in consort together a good while most pleasantly.  Thence to a
+Tangier Committee at White Hall, where I saw nothing ordered by judgment,
+but great heat and passion and faction now in behalf of my Lord Bellasses,
+and to the reproach of my Lord Tiviott, and dislike as it were of former
+proceedings.  So away with Mr. Povy, he carrying me homeward to Mark Lane
+in his coach, a simple fellow I now find him, to his utter shame in his
+business of accounts, as none but a sorry foole would have discovered
+himself; and yet, in little, light, sorry things very cunning; yet, in the
+principal, the most ignorant man I ever met with in so great trust as he
+is.  To my office till past 12, and then home to supper and to bed, being
+now mighty well, and truly I cannot but impute it to my fresh hare's
+foote.  Before I went to bed I sat up till two o'clock in my chamber
+reading of Mr. Hooke's Microscopicall Observations, the most ingenious
+book that ever I read in my life.
+
+22nd (Lord's day).  Up, leaving my wife in bed, being sick of her months,
+and to church.  Thence home, and in my wife's chamber dined very merry,
+discoursing, among other things, of a design I have come in my head this
+morning at church of making a match between Mrs. Betty Pickering and Mr.
+Hill, my friend the merchant, that loves musique and comes to me
+a'Sundays, a most ingenious and sweet-natured and highly accomplished
+person.  I know not how their fortunes may agree, but their disposition
+and merits are much of a sort, and persons, though different, yet equally,
+I think, acceptable.  After dinner walked to Westminster, and after being
+at the Abbey and heard a good anthem well sung there, I as I had appointed
+to the Trumpett, there expecting when Jane Welsh should come, but anon
+comes a maid of the house to tell me that her mistress and master would
+not let her go forth, not knowing of my being here, but to keep her from
+her sweetheart.  So being defeated, away by coach home, and there spent
+the evening prettily in discourse with my wife and Mercer, and so to
+supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen to White Hall; but there
+finding the Duke gone to his lodgings at St. James's for all together, his
+Duchesse being ready to lie in, we to him, and there did our usual
+business.  And here I met the great newes confirmed by the Duke's own
+relation, by a letter from Captain Allen.  First, of our own loss of two
+ships, the Phoenix and Nonesuch, in the Bay of Gibraltar: then of his, and
+his seven ships with him, in the Bay of Cales, or thereabouts, fighting
+with the 34 Dutch Smyrna fleete; sinking the King Salamon, a ship worth a
+L150,000 or more, some say L200,000, and another; and taking of three
+merchant-ships.  Two of our ships were disabled, by the Dutch
+unfortunately falling against their will against them; the Advice, Captain
+W. Poole, and Antelope, Captain Clerke: The Dutch men-of-war did little
+service.  Captain Allen did receive many shots at distance before he would
+fire one gun, which he did not do till he come within pistol-shot of his
+enemy.  The Spaniards on shore at Cales did stand laughing at the Dutch,
+to see them run away and flee to the shore, 34 or thereabouts, against
+eight Englishmen at most.  I do purpose to get the whole relation, if I
+live, of Captain Allen himself.  In our loss of the two ships in the Bay
+of Gibraltar, it is observable how the world do comment upon the
+misfortune of Captain Moone of the Nonesuch (who did lose, in the same
+manner, the Satisfaction), as a person that hath ill-luck attending him;
+without considering that the whole fleete was ashore. Captain Allen led
+the way, and Captain Allen himself writes that all the masters of the
+fleete, old and young, were mistaken, and did carry their ships aground.
+But I think I heard the Duke say that Moone, being put into the Oxford,
+had in this conflict regained his credit, by sinking one and taking
+another.  Captain Seale of the Milford hath done his part very well, in
+boarding the King Salamon, which held out half an hour after she was
+boarded; and his men kept her an hour after they did master her, and then
+she sunk, and drowned about 17 of her men.  Thence to Jervas's, my mind,
+God forgive me, running too much after some folly, but 'elle' not being
+within I away by coach to the 'Change, and thence home to dinner. And
+finding Mrs. Bagwell waiting at the office after dinner, away she and I to
+a cabaret where she and I have eat before, and there I had her company
+'tout' and had 'mon plaisir' of 'elle'.  But strange to see how a woman,
+notwithstanding her greatest pretences of love 'a son mari' and religion,
+may be 'vaincue'.  Thence to the Court of the Turkey Company at Sir Andrew
+Rickard's to treat about carrying some men of ours to Tangier, and had
+there a very civil reception, though a denial of the thing as not
+practicable with them, and I think so too.  So to my office a little and
+to Jervas's again, thinking 'avoir rencontrais' Jane, 'mais elle n'etait
+pas dedans'.  So I back again and to my office, where I did with great
+content 'ferais' a vow to mind my business, and 'laisser aller les femmes'
+for a month, and am with all my heart glad to find myself able to come to
+so good a resolution, that thereby I may follow my business, which and my
+honour thereby lies a bleeding.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+24th.  Up and by coach to Westminster Hall and the Parliament House, and
+there spoke with Mr. Coventry and others about business and so back to the
+'Change, where no news more than that the Dutch have, by consent of all
+the Provinces, voted no trade to be suffered for eighteen months, but that
+they apply themselves wholly to the warr.
+
+     [This statement of a total prohibition of all trade, and for so long
+     a period as eighteen months, by a government so essentially
+     commercial as that of the United Provinces, seems extraordinary.
+     The fact was, that when in the beginning of the year 1665 the States
+     General saw that the war with England was become inevitable, they
+     took several vigorous measures, and determined to equip a formidable
+     fleet, and with a view to obtain a sufficient number of men to man
+     it, prohibited all navigation, especially in the great and small
+     fisheries as they were then called, and in the whale fishery.  This
+     measure appears to have resembled the embargoes so commonly resorted
+     to in this country on similar occasions, rather than a total
+     prohibition of trade.--B.]
+
+And they say it is very true, but very strange, for we use to believe they
+cannot support themselves without trade.  Thence home to dinner and then
+to the office, where all the afternoon, and at night till very late, and
+then home to supper and bed, having a great cold, got on Sunday last, by
+sitting too long with my head bare, for Mercer to comb my hair and wash my
+eares.
+
+25th.  Up, and busy all the morning, dined at home upon a hare pye, very
+good meat, and so to my office again, and in the afternoon by coach to
+attend the Council at White Hall, but come too late, so back with Mr.
+Gifford, a merchant, and he and I to the Coffee-house, where I met Mr.
+Hill, and there he tells me that he is to be Assistant to the Secretary of
+the Prize Office (Sir Ellis Layton), which is to be held at Sir Richard
+Ford's, which, methinks, is but something low, but perhaps may bring him
+something considerable; but it makes me alter my opinion of his being so
+rich as to make a fortune for Mrs. Pickering.  Thence home and visited Sir
+J. Minnes, who continues ill, but is something better; there he told me
+what a mad freaking fellow Sir Ellis Layton hath been, and is, and once at
+Antwerp was really mad.  Thence to my office late, my cold troubling me,
+and having by squeezing myself in a coach hurt my testicles, but I hope
+will cease its pain without swelling.  So home out of order, to supper and
+to bed.
+
+26th.  Lay, being in some pain, but not much, with my last night's bruise,
+but up and to my office, where busy all the morning, the like after dinner
+till very late, then home to supper and to bed.  My wife mightily troubled
+with the tooth ake, and my cold not being gone yet, but my bruise
+yesterday goes away again, and it chiefly occasioned I think now from the
+sudden change of the weather from a frost to a great rayne on a sudden.
+
+27th.  Called up by Mr. Creed to discourse about some Tangier business,
+and he gone I made me ready and found Jane Welsh, Mr. Jervas his mayde,
+come to tell me that she was gone from her master, and is resolved to
+stick to this sweetheart of hers, one Harbing (a very sorry little fellow,
+and poor), which I did in a word or two endeavour to dissuade her from,
+but being unwilling to keep her long at my house, I sent her away and by
+and by followed her to the Exchange, and thence led her about down to the
+3 Cranes, and there took boat for the Falcon, and at a house looking into
+the fields there took up and sat an hour or two talking and discoursing
+.  .  .  . Thence having endeavoured to make her think of making herself
+happy by staying out her time with her master and other counsels, but she
+told me she could not do it, for it was her fortune to have this man,
+though she did believe it would be to her ruine, which is a strange,
+stupid thing, to a fellow of no kind of worth in the world and a beggar to
+boot.  Thence away to boat again and landed her at the Three Cranes again,
+and I to the Bridge, and so home, and after shifting myself, being dirty,
+I to the 'Change, and thence to Mr. Povy's and there dined, and thence
+with him and Creed to my Lord Bellasses', and there debated a great while
+how to put things in order against his going, and so with my Lord in his
+coach to White Hall, and with him to my Lord Duke of Albemarle, finding
+him at cards.  After a few dull words or two, I away to White Hall again,
+and there delivered a letter to the Duke of Yorke about our Navy business,
+and thence walked up and down in the gallery, talking with Mr. Slingsby,
+who is a very ingenious person, about the Mint and coynage of money.
+Among other things, he argues that there being L700,000 coined in the Rump
+time, and by all the Treasurers of that time, it being their opinion that
+the Rump money was in all payments, one with another, about a tenth part
+of all their money.  Then, says he, to my question, the nearest guess we
+can make is, that the money passing up and down in business is L7,000,000.
+To another question of mine he made me fully understand that the old law
+of prohibiting bullion to be exported, is, and ever was a folly and an
+injury, rather than good. Arguing thus, that if the exportations exceed
+importations, then the balance must be brought home in money, which, when
+our merchants know cannot be carried out again, they will forbear to bring
+home in money, but let it lie abroad for trade, or keepe in foreign banks:
+or if our importations exceed our exportations, then, to keepe credit, the
+merchants will and must find ways of carrying out money by stealth, which
+is a most easy thing to do, and is every where done; and therefore the law
+against it signifies nothing in the world.  Besides, that it is seen, that
+where money is free, there is great plenty; where it is restrained, as
+here, there is a great want, as in Spayne.  These and many other fine
+discourses I had from him.  Thence by coach home (to see Sir J. Minnes
+first), who is still sick, and I doubt worse than he seems to be.  Mrs.
+Turner here took me into her closet, and there did give me a glass of most
+pure water, and shewed me her Rocke, which indeed is a very noble thing
+but a very bawble.  So away to my office, where late, busy, and then home
+to supper and to bed.
+
+28th.  Up and to my office, where all the morning, and then home to
+dinner, and after dinner abroad, walked to Paul's Churchyard, but my books
+not bound, which vexed me.  So home to my office again, where very late
+about business, and so home to supper and to bed, my cold continuing in a
+great degree upon me still.  This day I received a good sum of money due
+to me upon one score or another from Sir G. Carteret, among others to
+clear all my matters about Colours,--[Flags]--wherein a month or two since
+I was so embarrassed and I thank God I find myself to have got clear, by
+that commodity, L50 and something more; and earned it with dear pains and
+care and issuing of my owne money, and saved the King near L100 in it.
+
+29th (Lord's day).  Up and to my office, where all the morning, putting
+papers to rights which now grow upon my hands.  At noon dined at home. All
+the afternoon at my business again.  In the evening come Mr. Andrews and
+Hill, and we up to my chamber and there good musique, though my great cold
+made it the less pleasing to me.  Then Mr. Hill (the other going away) and
+I to supper alone, my wife not appearing, our discourse upon the
+particular vain humours of Mr. Povy, which are very extraordinary indeed.
+After supper I to Sir W. Batten's, where I found him, Sir W. Pen, Sir J.
+Robinson, Sir R. Ford and Captain Cocke and Mr. Pen, junior. Here a great
+deal of sorry disordered talk about the Trinity House men, their being
+exempted from land service.  But, Lord! to see how void of method and
+sense their discourse was, and in what heat, insomuch as Sir R. Ford (who
+we judged, some of us, to be a little foxed) fell into very high terms
+with Sir W. Batten, and then with Captain Cocke.  So that I see that no
+man is wise at all times.  Thence home to prayers and to bed.
+
+30th.  This is solemnly kept as a Fast all over the City, but I kept my
+house, putting my closett to rights again, having lately put it out of
+order in removing my books and things in order to being made clean.  At
+this all day, and at night to my office, there to do some business, and
+being late at it, comes Mercer to me, to tell me that my wife was in bed,
+and desired me to come home; for they hear, and have, night after night,
+lately heard noises over their head upon the leads.  Now it is strange to
+think how, knowing that I have a great sum of money in my house, this puts
+me into a most mighty affright, that for more than two hours, I could not
+almost tell what to do or say, but feared this and that, and remembered
+that this evening I saw a woman and two men stand suspiciously in the
+entry, in the darke; I calling to them, they made me only this answer, the
+woman said that the men came to see her; but who she was I could not tell.
+The truth is, my house is mighty dangerous, having so many ways to be come
+to; and at my windows, over the stairs, to see who goes up and down; but,
+if I escape to-night, I will remedy it.  God preserve us this night safe!
+So at almost two o'clock, I home to my house, and, in great fear, to bed,
+thinking every running of a mouse really a thiefe; and so to sleep, very
+brokenly, all night long, and found all safe in the morning.
+
+31st.  Up and with Sir W. Batten to Westminster, where to speak at the
+House with my Lord Bellasses, and am cruelly vexed to see myself put upon
+businesses so uncertainly about getting ships for Tangier being ordered, a
+servile thing, almost every day.  So to the 'Change, back by coach with
+Sir W. Batten, and thence to the Crowne, a taverne hard by, with Sir W.
+Rider and Cutler, where we alone, a very good dinner.  Thence home to the
+office, and there all the afternoon late.  The office being up, my wife
+sent for me, and what was it but to tell me how Jane carries herself, and
+I must put her away presently.  But I did hear both sides and find my wife
+much in fault, and the grounds of all the difference is my wife's fondness
+of Tom, to the being displeased with all the house beside to defend the
+boy, which vexes me, but I will cure it.  Many high words between my wife
+and I, but the wench shall go, but I will take a course with the boy, for
+I fear I have spoiled him already.  Thence to the office, to my accounts,
+and there at once to ease my mind I have made myself debtor to Mr. Povy
+for the L117  5s. got with so much joy the last month, but seeing that it
+is not like to be kept without some trouble and question, I do even
+discharge my mind of it, and so if I come now to refund it, as I fear I
+shall, I shall now be ne'er a whit the poorer for it, though yet it is
+some trouble to me to be poorer by such a sum than I thought myself a
+month since.  But, however, a quiet mind and to be sure of my owne is
+worth all.  The Lord be praised for what I have, which is this month come
+down to L1257.  I staid up about my accounts till almost two in the
+morning.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                               FEBRUARY
+                               1664-1665
+
+February 1st.  Lay long in bed, which made me, going by coach to St.
+James's by appointment to have attended the Duke of Yorke and my Lord
+Bellasses, lose the hopes of my getting something by the hire of a ship to
+carry men to Tangier.  But, however, according to the order of the Duke
+this morning, I did go to the 'Change, and there after great pains did
+light of a business with Mr. Gifford and Hubland [Houblon] for bringing me
+as much as I hoped for, which I have at large expressed in my stating the
+case of the "King's Fisher," which is the ship that I have hired, and got
+the Duke of Yorke's agreement this afternoon after much pains and not
+eating a bit of bread till about 4 o'clock.  Going home I put in to an
+ordinary by Temple Barr and there with my boy Tom eat a pullet, and thence
+home to the office, being still angry with my wife for yesterday's
+foolery.  After a good while at the office, I with the boy to the Sun
+behind the Exchange, by agreement with Mr. Young the flag-maker, and there
+was met by Mr. Hill, Andrews, and Mr. Hubland, a pretty serious man.  Here
+two very pretty savoury dishes and good discourse.  After supper a song,
+or three or four (I having to that purpose carried Lawes's book), and
+staying here till 12 o'clock got the watch to light me home, and in a
+continued discontent to bed.  After being in bed, my people come and say
+there is a great stinke of burning, but no smoake.  We called up Sir J.
+Minnes's and Sir W. Batten's people, and Griffin, and the people at the
+madhouse, but nothing could be found to give occasion to it.  At this
+trouble we were till past three o'clock, and then the stinke ceasing, I to
+sleep, and my people to bed, and lay very long in the morning.
+
+2nd.  Then up and to my office, where till noon and then to the 'Change,
+and at the Coffee-house with Gifford, Hubland, the Master of the ship, and
+I read over and approved a charter-party for carrying goods for Tangier,
+wherein I hope to get some money.  Thence home, my head akeing for want of
+rest and too much business.  So to the office.  At night comes, Povy, and
+he and I to Mrs. Bland's to discourse about my serving her to helpe her to
+a good passage for Tangier.  Here I heard her kinswoman sing 3 or 4 very
+fine songs and in good manner, and then home and to supper.  My cook mayd
+Jane and her mistresse parted, and she went away this day.  I vexed to
+myself, but was resolved to have no more trouble, and so after supper to
+my office and then to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up, and walked with my boy (whom, because of my wife's making him
+idle, I dare not leave at home) walked first to Salsbury court, there to
+excuse my not being at home at dinner to Mrs. Turner, who I perceive is
+vexed, because I do not serve her in something against the great feasting
+for her husband's Reading--[On his appointment as Reader in Law.]--in
+helping her to some good penn'eths, but I care not.  She was dressing
+herself by the fire in her chamber, and there took occasion to show me her
+leg, which indeed is the finest I ever saw, and she not a little proud of
+it.  Thence to my Lord Bellasses; thence to Mr. Povy's, and so up and down
+at that end of the town about several businesses, it being a brave frosty
+day and good walking.  So back again on foot to the 'Change, in my way
+taking my books from binding from my bookseller's.  My bill for the
+rebinding of some old books to make them suit with my study, cost me,
+besides other new books in the same bill, L3; but it will be very
+handsome.  At the 'Change did several businesses, and here I hear that
+newes is come from Deale, that the same day my Lord Sandwich sailed thence
+with the fleete, that evening some Dutch men of warr were seen on the back
+side of the Goodwin, and, by all conjecture, must be seen by my Lord's
+fleete; which, if so, they must engage.  Thence, being invited, to my
+uncle Wight's, where the Wights all dined; and, among the others, pretty
+Mrs. Margaret, who indeed is a very pretty lady; and though by my vowe it
+costs me 12d. a kiss after the first, yet I did adventure upon a couple.
+So home, and among other letters found one from Jane, that is newly gone,
+telling me how her mistresse won't pay her her Quarter's wages, and withal
+tells me how her mistress will have the boy sit 3 or 4 hours together in
+the dark telling of stories, but speaks of nothing but only her
+indiscretion in undervaluing herself to do it, but I will remedy that, but
+am vexed she should get some body to write so much because of making it
+publique.  Then took coach and to visit my Lady Sandwich, where she
+discoursed largely to me her opinion of a match, if it could be thought
+fit by my Lord, for my Lady Jemimah, with Sir G. Carteret's eldest son;
+but I doubt he hath yet no settled estate in land.  But I will inform
+myself, and give her my opinion.  Then Mrs. Pickering (after private
+discourse ended, we going into the other room) did, at my Lady's command,
+tell me the manner of a masquerade
+
+     [The masquerade at Court took place on the 2nd, and is referred to
+     by Evelyn, who was present, in his Diary.  Some amusing incidents
+     connected with the entertainment are related in the "Grammont
+     Memoirs" (chapter vii.).]
+
+before the King and Court the other day.  Where six women (my Lady
+Castlemayne and Duchesse of Monmouth being two of them) and six men (the
+Duke of Monmouth and Lord Arran and Monsieur Blanfort, being three of
+them) in vizards, but most rich and antique dresses, did dance admirably
+and most gloriously.  God give us cause to continue the mirthe!  So home,
+and after awhile at my office to supper and to bed.
+
+4th.  Lay long in bed discoursing with my wife about her mayds, which by
+Jane's going away in discontent and against my opinion do make some
+trouble between my wife and me.  But these are but foolish troubles and so
+not to be set to heart, yet it do disturb me mightily these things. To my
+office, and there all the morning.  At noon being invited, I to the Sun
+behind the 'Change, to dinner to my Lord Belasses, where a great deal of
+discourse with him, and some good, among others at table he told us a very
+handsome passage of the King's sending him his message about holding out
+the town of Newarke, of which he was then governor for the King. This
+message he sent in a sluggbullet, being writ in cypher, and wrapped up in
+lead and swallowed.  So the messenger come to my Lord and told him he had
+a message from the King, but it was yet in his belly; so they did give him
+some physique, and out it come.  This was a month before the King's flying
+to the Scotts; and therein he told him that at such a day, being the 3d or
+6th of May, he should hear of his being come to the Scotts, being assured
+by the King of France that in coming to them he should be used with all
+the liberty, honour, and safety, that could be desired.  And at the just
+day he did come to the Scotts.  He told us another odd passage: how the
+King having newly put out Prince Rupert of his generallshipp, upon some
+miscarriage at Bristoll, and Sir Richard Willis
+
+     [Sir Richard Willis, the betrayer of the Royalists, was one of the
+     "Sealed Knot."  When the Restoration had become a certainty, he
+     wrote to Clarendon imploring him to intercede for him with the king
+     (see Lister's "Life of Clarendon," vol. iii., p. 87).]
+
+of his governorship of Newarke, at the entreaty of the gentry of the
+County, and put in my Lord Bellasses, the great officers of the King's
+army mutinyed, and come in that manner with swords drawn, into the
+market-place of the towne where the King was; which the King hearing,
+says, "I must to horse."  And there himself personally, when every body
+expected they should have been opposed, the King come, and cried to the
+head of the mutineers, which was Prince Rupert, "Nephew, I command you to
+be gone."  So the Prince, in all his fury and discontent, withdrew, and
+his company scattered, which they say was the greatest piece of mutiny in
+the world.  Thence after dinner home to my office, and in the evening was
+sent to by Jane that I would give her her wages.  So I sent for my wife to
+my office, and told her that rather than be talked on I would give her all
+her wages for this Quarter coming on, though two months is behind, which
+vexed my wife, and we begun to be angry, but I took myself up and sent her
+away, but was cruelly vexed in my mind that all my trouble in this world
+almost should arise from my disorders in my family and the indiscretion of
+a wife that brings me nothing almost (besides a comely person) but only
+trouble and discontent.  She gone I late at my business, and then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+5th (Lord's day).  Lay in bed most of the morning, then up and down to my
+chamber, among my new books, which is now a pleasant sight to me to see my
+whole study almost of one binding.  So to dinner, and all the afternoon
+with W. Hewer at my office endorsing of papers there, my business having
+got before me much of late.  In the evening comes to see me Mr. Sheply,
+lately come out of the country, who goes away again to-morrow, a good and
+a very kind man to me.  There come also Mr. Andrews and Hill, and we sang
+very pleasantly; and so, they being gone, I and my wife to supper, and to
+prayers and bed.
+
+6th.  Up and with Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Pen to St. James's, but the
+Duke is gone abroad.  So to White Hall to him, and there I spoke with him,
+and so to Westminster, did a little business, and then home to the
+'Change, where also I did some business, and went off and ended my
+contract with the "Kingfisher" I hired for Tangier, and I hope to get
+something by it.  Thence home to dinner, and visited Sir W. Batten, who is
+sick again, worse than he was, and I am apt to think is very ill.  So to
+my office, and among other things with Sir W. Warren 4 hours or more till
+very late, talking of one thing or another, and have concluded a firm
+league with him in all just ways to serve him and myself all I can, and I
+think he will be a most usefull and thankfull man to me.  So home to
+supper and to bed.  This being one of the coldest days, all say, they ever
+felt in England; and I this day, under great apprehensions of getting an
+ague from my putting a suit on that hath lain by without ayring a great
+while, and I pray God it do not do me hurte.
+
+7th.  Up and to my office, where busy all the morning, and at home to
+dinner.  It being Shrove Tuesday, had some very good fritters.  All the
+afternoon and evening at the office, and at night home to supper and to
+bed.  This day, Sir W. Batten, who hath been sicke four or five days, is
+now very bad, so as people begin to fear his death; and I am at a loss
+whether it will be better for me to have him die, because he is a bad man,
+or live, for fear a worse should come.
+
+8th.  Up and by coach to my Lord Peterborough's, where anon my Lord Ashly
+and Sir Thomas Ingram met, and Povy about his accounts, who is one of the
+most unhappy accountants that ever I knew in all my life, and one that if
+I were clear in reference to my bill of L117 he should be hanged before I
+would ever have to do with him, and as he understands nothing of his
+business himself, so he hath not one about him that do.  Here late till I
+was weary, having business elsewhere, and thence home by coach, and after
+dinner did several businesses and very late at my office, and so home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+9th.  Up and to my office, where all the morning very busy.  At noon home
+to dinner, and then to my office again, where Sir William Petty come,
+among other things to tell me that Mr. Barlow
+
+     [Thomas Barlow, Pepys's predecessor as Clerk of the Acts, to whom he
+     paid part of the salary.  Barlow held the office jointly with Dennis
+     Fleeting.]
+
+is dead; for which, God knows my heart, I could be as sorry as is possible
+for one to be for a stranger, by whose death he gets L100 per annum, he
+being a worthy, honest man; but after having considered that when I come
+to consider the providence of God by this means unexpectedly to give me
+L100 a year more in my estate, I have cause to bless God, and do it from
+the bottom of my heart.  So home late at night, after twelve o'clock, and
+so to bed.
+
+10th.  Up and abroad to Paul's Churchyard, there to see the last of my
+books new bound: among others, my "Court of King James,"
+
+     ["The Court and Character of King James, written and taken by Sir
+     Anthony Weldon, being an eye and eare witnesse," was published in
+     1650, and reprinted in 1651 under the title of "Truth brought to
+     Light" Weldon's book was answered in a work entitled "Aulicus
+     Coquinariae."  Both the original book and the answer were reprinted
+     in "The Secret History of the Court of King James," Edinburgh, 1811,
+     two vols.  (edited by Sir Walter Scott).]
+
+and "The Rise and Fall of the Family of the Stewarts;" and much pleased I
+am now with my study; it being, methinks, a beautifull sight.  Thence (in
+Mr. Grey's coach, who took me up), to Westminster, where I heard that
+yesterday the King met the Houses to pass the great bill for the
+L2,500,000.  After doing a little business I home, where Mr. Moore dined
+with me, and evened our reckonings on my Lord Sandwich's bond to me for
+principal and interest.  So that now on both there is remaining due to me
+L257. 7s., and I bless God it is no more.  So all the afternoon at my
+office, and late home to supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+11th.  Up and to my office, where all the morning.  At noon to 'Change by
+coach with my Lord Brunkard, and thence after doing much business home to
+dinner, and so to my office all the afternoon till past 12 at night very
+busy.  So home to bed.
+
+12th (Lord's day).  Up and to church to St. Lawrence to hear Dr. Wilkins,
+the great scholar, for curiosity, I having never heard him: but was not
+satisfied with him at all, only a gentleman sat in the pew I by chance sat
+in, that sang most excellently, and afterward I found by his face that he
+had been a Paul's scholler, but know not his name, and I was also well
+pleased with the church, it being a very fine church.  So home to dinner,
+and then to my office all the afternoon doing of business, and in the
+evening comes Mr. Hill (but no Andrews) and we spent the evening very
+finely, singing, supping and discoursing.  Then to prayers and to bed.
+
+13th.  Up and to St. James's, did our usual business before the Duke.
+Thence I to Westminster and by water (taking Mr. Stapely the rope-maker by
+the way), to his rope-ground and to Limehouse, there to see the manner of
+stoves and did excellently inform myself therein, and coming home did go
+on board Sir W. Petty's "Experiment," which is a brave roomy vessel, and I
+hope may do well.  So went on shore to a Dutch [house] to drink some mum,
+and there light upon some Dutchmen, with whom we had good discourse
+touching stoveing
+
+     [Stoveing, in sail-making, is the heating of the bolt-ropes, so as
+     to make them pliable.--B.]
+
+and making of cables.  But to see how despicably they speak of us for our
+using so many hands more to do anything than they do, they closing a cable
+with 20, that we use 60 men upon.  Thence home and eat something, and then
+to my office, where very late, and then to supper and to bed. Captain
+Stokes, it seems, is at last dead at Portsmouth.
+
+14th (St. Valentine).  This morning comes betimes Dicke Pen, to be my
+wife's Valentine, and come to our bedside.  By the same token, I had him
+brought to my side, thinking to have made him kiss me; but he perceived
+me, and would not; so went to his Valentine: a notable, stout, witty boy.
+I up about business, and, opening the door, there was Bagwell's wife, with
+whom I talked afterwards, and she had the confidence to say she came with
+a hope to be time enough to be my Valentine, and so indeed she did, but my
+oath preserved me from loosing any time with her, and so I and my boy
+abroad by coach to Westminster, where did two or three businesses, and
+then home to the 'Change, and did much business there.  My Lord Sandwich
+is, it seems, with his fleete at Alborough Bay.  So home to dinner and
+then to the office, where till 12 almost at night, and then home to supper
+and to bed.
+
+15th.  Up and to my office, where busy all the morning.  At noon with
+Creed to dinner to Trinity-house, where a very good dinner among the old
+sokers, where an extraordinary discourse of the manner of the loss of the
+"Royall Oake" coming home from Bantam, upon the rocks of Scilly, many
+passages therein very extraordinary, and if I can I will get it in
+writing.  Thence with Creed to Gresham College, where I had been by Mr.
+Povy the last week proposed to be admitted a member;
+
+     [According to the minutes of the Royal Society for February 15th,
+     1664-65, "Mr. Pepys was unanimously elected and admitted."  Notes of
+     the experiments shown by Hooke and Boyle are given in Birch's
+     "History of the Royal Society," vol. ii., p. 15.]
+
+and was this day admitted, by signing a book and being taken by the hand
+by the President, my Lord Brunkard, and some words of admittance said to
+me.  But it is a most acceptable thing to hear their discourse, and see
+their experiments; which were this day upon the nature of fire, and how it
+goes out in a place where the ayre is not free, and sooner out where the
+ayre is exhausted, which they showed by an engine on purpose.  After this
+being done, they to the Crowne Taverne, behind the 'Change, and there my
+Lord and most of the company to a club supper; Sir P. Neale, Sir R.
+Murrey, Dr. Clerke, Dr. Whistler, Dr. Goddard, and others of most eminent
+worth.  Above all, Mr. Boyle to-day was at the meeting, and above him Mr.
+Hooke, who is the most, and promises the least, of any man in the world
+that ever I saw.  Here excellent discourse till ten at night, and then
+home, and to Sir W. Batten's, where I hear that Sir Thos. Harvy intends to
+put Mr. Turner out of his house and come in himself, which will be very
+hard to them, and though I love him not, yet for his family's sake I pity
+him.  So home and to bed.
+
+16th.  Up, and with Mr. Andrews to White Hall, where a Committee of
+Tangier, and there I did our victuallers' business for some more money,
+out of which I hope to get a little, of which I was glad; but, Lord! to
+see to what a degree of contempt, nay, scorn, Mr. Povy, through his
+prodigious folly, hath brought himself in his accounts, that if he be not
+a man of a great interest, he will be kicked out of his employment for a
+foole, is very strange, and that most deservedly that ever man was, for
+never any man, that understands accounts so little, ever went through so
+much, and yet goes through it with the greatest shame and yet with
+confidence that ever I saw man in my life.  God deliver me in my owne
+business of my bill out of his hands, and if ever I foul my fingers with
+him again let me suffer for it!  Back to the 'Change, and thence home to
+dinner, where Mrs. Hunt dined with me, and poor Mrs. Batters; who brought
+her little daughter with her, and a letter from her husband, wherein, as a
+token, the foole presents me very seriously with his daughter for me to
+take the charge of bringing up for him, and to make my owne.  But I took
+no notice to her at all of the substance of the letter, but fell to
+discourse, and so went away to the office, where all the afternoon till
+almost one in the morning, and then home to bed.
+
+17th.  Up, and it being bitter cold, and frost and snow, which I had
+thought had quite left us, I by coach to Povy's, where he told me, as I
+knew already, how he was handled the other day, and is still, by my Lord
+Barkeley, and among other things tells me, what I did not know, how my
+Lord Barkeley will say openly, that he hath fought more set
+fields--[Battles or actions]--than any man in England hath done.  I did my
+business with him, which was to get a little sum of money paid, and so
+home with Mr. Andrews, who met me there, and there to the office.  At noon
+home and there found Lewellin, which vexed me out of my old jealous
+humour.  So to my office, where till 12 at night, being only a little
+while at noon at Sir W. Batten's to see him, and had some high words with
+Sir J. Minnes about Sir W. Warren, he calling him cheating knave, but I
+cooled him, and at night at Sir W. Pen's, he being to go to Chatham
+to-morrow.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+18th.  Up, and to the office, where sat all the morning; at noon to the
+'Change, and thence to the Royall Oake taverne in Lumbard Streete, where
+Sir William Petty and the owners of the double-bottomed boat (the
+Experiment) did entertain my Lord Brunkard, Sir R. Murrey, myself, and
+others, with marrow bones and a chine of beefe of the victuals they have
+made for this ship; and excellent company and good discourse: but, above
+all, I do value Sir William Petty.  Thence home; and took my Lord
+Sandwich's draught of the harbour of Portsmouth down to Ratcliffe, to one
+Burston, to make a plate for the King, and another for the Duke, and
+another for himself; which will be very neat.  So home, and till almost
+one o'clock in the morning at my office, and then home to supper and to
+bed.  My Lord Sandwich, and his fleete of twenty-five ships in the Downes,
+returned from cruising, but could not meet with any Dutchmen.
+
+19th.  Lay in bed, it being Lord's day, all the morning talking with my
+wife, sometimes pleased, sometimes displeased, and then up and to dinner.
+All the afternoon also at home, and Sir W. Batten's, and in the evening
+comes Mr. Andrews, and we sung together, and then to supper, he not
+staying, and at supper hearing by accident of my mayds their letting in a
+rogueing Scotch woman that haunts the office, to helpe them to washe and
+scoure in our house, and that very lately, I fell mightily out, and made
+my wife, to the disturbance of the house and neighbours, to beat our
+little girle, and then we shut her down into the cellar, and there she lay
+all night.  So we to bed.
+
+20th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes to attend the Duke, and then we back
+again and rode into the beginning of my Lord Chancellor's new house, near
+St. James's; which common people have already called Dunkirke-house, from
+their opinion of his having a good bribe for the selling of that towne.
+And very noble I believe it will be.  Near that is my Lord Barkeley
+beginning another on one side, and Sir J. Denham on the other.  Thence I
+to the House of Lords and spoke with my Lord Bellasses, and so to the
+'Change, and there did business, and so to the Sun taverne, haling in the
+morning had some high words with Sir J. Lawson about his sending of some
+bayled goods to Tangier, wherein the truth is I did not favour him, but
+being conscious that some of my profits may come out by some words that
+fell from him, and to be quiet, I have accommodated it.  Here we dined
+merry; but my club and the rest come to 7s. 6d., which was too much.
+Thence to the office, and there found Bagwell's wife, whom I directed to
+go home, and I would do her business, which was to write a letter to my
+Lord Sandwich for her husband's advance into a better ship as there should
+be occasion.  Which I did, and by and by did go down by water to Deptford,
+and then down further, and so landed at the lower end of the town, and it
+being dark 'entrer en la maison de la femme de Bagwell', and there had 'sa
+compagnie', though with a great deal of difficulty, 'neanmoins en fin
+j'avais ma volont d'elle', and being sated therewith, I walked home to
+Redriffe, it being now near nine o'clock, and there I did drink some
+strong waters and eat some bread and cheese, and so home. Where at my
+office my wife comes and tells me that she hath hired a chamber mayde, one
+of the prettiest maydes that ever she saw in her life, and that she is
+really jealous of me for her, but hath ventured to hire her from month to
+month, but I think she means merrily.  So to supper and to bed.
+
+21st.  Up, and to the office (having a mighty pain in my forefinger of my
+left hand, from a strain that it received last night) in struggling 'avec
+la femme que je' mentioned yesterday, where busy till noon, and then my
+wife being busy in going with her woman to a hot-house to bathe herself,
+after her long being within doors in the dirt, so that she now pretends to
+a resolution of being hereafter very clean.  How long it will hold I can
+guess.  I dined with Sir W. Batten and my Lady, they being now a'days very
+fond of me.  So to the 'Change, and off of the 'Change with Mr. Wayth to a
+cook's shop, and there dined again for discourse with him about Hamaccos
+
+     [Or hammock-battens: cleats or battens nailed to the sides of a
+     vessel's beams, from which to suspend the seamen's hammocks.]
+
+and the abuse now practised in tickets, and more like every day to be.
+Also of the great profit Mr. Fen makes of his place, he being, though he
+demands but 5 per cent. of all he pays, and that is easily computed, but
+very little pleased with any man that gives him no more.  So to the
+office, and after office my Lord Brunkerd carried me to Lincolne's Inne
+Fields, and there I with my Lady Sandwich (good lady) talking of innocent
+discourse of good housewifery and husbands for her daughters, and the
+luxury and looseness of the times and other such things till past 10
+o'clock at night, and so by coach home, where a little at my office, and
+so to supper and to bed.  My Lady tells me how my Lord Castlemayne is
+coming over from France, and is believed will be made friends with his
+Lady again.  What mad freaks the Mayds of Honour at Court have: that Mrs.
+Jenings, one of the Duchesses mayds, the other day dressed herself like an
+orange wench, and went up and down and cried oranges; till falling down,
+or by such accident, though in the evening, her fine shoes were discerned,
+and she put to a great deale of shame; that such as these tricks being
+ordinary, and worse among them, thereby few will venture upon them for
+wives: my Lady Castlemayne will in merriment say that her daughter (not
+above a year old or two) will be the first mayde in the Court that will be
+married.  This day my Lord Sandwich writ me word from the Downes, that he
+is like to be in towne this week.
+
+22nd.  Lay last night alone, my wife after her bathing lying alone in
+another bed.  So cold all night.  Up and to the office, where busy all the
+morning.  At noon at the 'Change, busy; where great talk of a Dutch ship
+in the North put on shore, and taken by a troop of horse.  Home to dinner
+and Creed with me.  Thence to Gresham College, where very noble discourse,
+and thence home busy till past 12 at night, and then home to supper and to
+bed.  Mrs. Bland come this night to take leave of me and my wife, going to
+Tangier.
+
+23rd.  This day, by the blessing of Almighty God, I have lived thirty-two
+years in the world, and am in the best degree of health at this minute
+that I have been almost in my life time, and at this time in the best
+condition of estate that ever I was in-the Lord make me thankfull.  Up,
+and to the office, where busy all the morning.  At noon to the 'Change,
+where I hear the most horrid and astonishing newes that ever was yet told
+in my memory, that De Ruyter with his fleete in Guinny hath proceeded to
+the taking of whatever we have, forts, goods, ships, and men, and tied our
+men back to back, and thrown them all into the sea, even women and
+children also.  This a Swede or Hamburgher is come into the River and
+tells that he saw the thing done.
+
+     [Similar reports of the cruelty of the English to the Dutch in
+     Guinea were credited in Holland, and were related by Downing in a
+     letter to Clarendon from the Hague, dated April 14th, 1665 (Lister's
+     "Life of Clarendon," vol. iii., p. 374).]
+
+But, Lord!  to see the consternation all our merchants are in is
+observable, and with what fury and revenge they discourse of it.  But I
+fear it will like other things in a few days cool among us.  But that
+which I fear most is the reason why he that was so kind to our men at
+first should afterward, having let them go, be so cruel when he went
+further.  What I fear is that there he was informed (which he was not
+before) of some of Holmes's dealings with his countrymen, and so was moved
+to this fury.  God grant it be not so!  But a more dishonourable thing was
+never suffered by Englishmen, nor a more barbarous done by man, as this by
+them to us.  Home to dinner, and then to the office, where we sat all the
+afternoon, and then at night to take my finall leave of Mrs. Bland, who
+sets out to-morrow for Tangier, and then I back to my office till past 12,
+and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+24th.  Up, and to my office, where all the morning upon advising again
+with some fishermen and the water bayliffe of the City, by Mr. Coventry's
+direction, touching the protections which are desired for the fishermen
+upon the River, and I am glad of the occasion to make me understand
+something of it.  At noon home to dinner, and all the afternoon till 9 at
+night in my chamber, and Mr. Hater with me (to prevent being disturbed at
+the office), to perfect my contract book, which, for want of time, hath a
+long time lain without being entered in as I used to do from month to
+month.  Then to my office, where till almost 12, and so home to bed.
+
+25th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change; where just before I come, the Swede that had told the King and
+the Duke so boldly this great lie of the Dutch flinging our men back to
+back into the sea at Guinny, so particularly, and readily, and
+confidently, was whipt round the 'Change: he confessing it a lie, and that
+he did it in hopes to get something.  It is said the judges, upon demand,
+did give it their opinion that the law would judge him to be whipt, to
+lose his eares, or to have his nose slit but I do not hear that anything
+more is to be done to him.  They say he is delivered over to the Dutch
+Embassador to do what he pleased with him.  But the world do think that
+there is some design on one side or other, either of the Dutch or French,
+for it is not likely a fellow would invent such a lie to get money whereas
+he might have hoped for a better reward by telling something in behalf of
+us to please us.  Thence to the Sun taverne, and there dined with Sir W.
+Warren and Mr. Gifford, the merchant: and I hear how Nich. Colborne, that
+lately lived and got a great estate there, is gone to live like a prince
+in the country, and that this Wadlow, that did the like at the Devil by
+St. Dunstane's, did go into the country, and there spent almost all he had
+got, and hath now choused this Colborne out of his house, that he might
+come to his old trade again.  But, Lord! to see how full the house is, no
+room for any company almost to come into it.  Thence home to the office,
+where dispatched much business; at night late home, and to clean myself
+with warm water; my wife will have me, because she do herself, and so to
+bed.
+
+26th (Sunday).  Up and to church, and so home to dinner, and after dinner
+to my office, and there busy all the afternoon, till in the evening comes
+Mr. Andrews and Hill, and so home and to singing.  Hill staid and supped
+with me, and very good discourse of Italy, where he was, which is always
+to me very agreeable.  After supper, he gone, we to prayers and to bed.
+
+27th.  Up and to St. James's, where we attended the Duke as usual.  This
+morning I was much surprized and troubled with a letter from Mrs. Bland,
+that she is left behind, and much trouble it cost me this day to find out
+some way to carry her after the ships to Plymouth, but at last I hope I
+have done it.  At noon to the 'Change to inquire what wages the Dutch give
+in their men-of-warr at this day, and I hear for certain they give but
+twelve guilders at most, which is not full 24s., a thing I wonder at. At
+home to dinner, and then in Sir J. Minnes's coach, my wife and I with him,
+and also Mercer, abroad, he and I to White Hall, and he would have his
+coach to wait upon my wife on her visits, it being the first time my wife
+hath been out of doors (but the other day to bathe her) several weeks.  We
+to a Committee of the Council to discourse concerning pressing of men;
+but, Lord! how they meet; never sit down: one comes, now another goes,
+then comes another; one complaining that nothing is done, another swearing
+that he hath been there these two hours and nobody come.  At last it come
+to this, my Lord Annesly, says he, "I think we must be forced to get the
+King to come to every committee; for I do not see that we do any thing at
+any time but when he is here."  And I believe he said the truth and very
+constant he is at the council table on council-days; which his
+predecessors, it seems, very rarely did; but thus I perceive the greatest
+affair in the world at this day is likely to be managed by us.  But to
+hear how my Lord Barkeley and others of them do cry up the discipline of
+the late times here, and in the former Dutch warr is strange, wishing with
+all their hearts that the business of religion were not so severely
+carried on as to discourage the sober people to come among us, and wishing
+that the same law and severity were used against drunkennesse as there was
+then, saying that our evil living will call the hand of God upon us again.
+Thence to walk alone a good while in St. James's Parke with Mr. Coventry,
+who I perceive is grown a little melancholy and displeased to see things
+go as they do so carelessly. Thence I by coach to Ratcliffe highway, to
+the plate-maker's, and he has begun my Lord Sandwich's plate very neatly,
+and so back again.  Coming back I met Colonell Atkins, who in other
+discourse did offer to give me a piece to receive of me 20 when he proves
+the late news of the Dutch, their drowning our men, at Guinny, and the
+truth is I find the generality of the world to fear that there is
+something of truth in it, and I do fear it too.  Thence back by coach to
+Sir Philip Warwicke's; and there he did contract with me a kind of
+friendship and freedom of communication, wherein he assures me to make me
+understand the whole business of the Treasurer's business of the Navy,
+that I shall know as well as Sir G. Carteret what money he hath; and will
+needs have me come to him sometimes, or he meet me, to discourse of things
+tending to the serving the King: and I am mighty proud and happy in
+becoming so known to such a man.  And I hope shall pursue it.  Thence back
+home to the office a little tired and out of order, and then to supper and
+to bed.
+
+28th: At the office all the morning.  At noon dined at home.  After dinner
+my wife and I to my Lady batten's, it being the first time my wife hath
+been there, I think, these two years, but I had a mind in part to take
+away the strangenesse, and so we did, and all very quiett and kind. Come
+home, I to the taking my wife's kitchen accounts at the latter end of the
+month, and there find 7s. wanting, which did occasion a very high falling
+out between us, I indeed too angrily insisting upon so poor a thing, and
+did give her very provoking high words, calling her beggar, and
+reproaching her friends, which she took very stomachfully and reproached
+me justly with mine; and I confess, being myself, I cannot see what she
+could have done less.  I find she is very cunning, and when she least
+shews it hath her wit at work; but it is an ill one, though I think not so
+bad but with good usage I might well bear with it, and the truth is I do
+find that my being over-solicitous and jealous and froward and ready to
+reproach her do make her worse.  However, I find that now and then a
+little difference do no hurte, but too much of it will make her know her
+force too much.  We parted after many high words very angry, and I to my
+office to my month's accounts, and find myself worth L1270, for which the
+Lord God be praised!  So at almost 2 o'clock in the morning I home to
+supper and to bed, and so ends this month, with great expectation of the
+Hollanders coming forth, who are, it seems, very high and rather more
+ready than we.  God give a good issue to it!

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 4.  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.
