The Diary of John Evelyn (Volume 1 of 2)

by John Evelyn

Transcriber's Note

Page headers in the original text indicated the location of the author. I have converted these to sidenotes. When the location did not change over several pages, only one sidenote was used.

Footnotes have been moved to the end of the book.
