Acetaria (Esprios Classics): A Discourse of Sallets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781006026843)

John Evelyn FRS (31 October 1620 - 27 February 1706) was an English writer, gardener and diarist. John Evelyn's diary, or memoir, spanned the period of his adult life from 1640, when he was a student, to 1706, the year he died. He did not write daily at all times. The many volumes provide insight into life and events at a time before regular magazines or newspapers were published, making diaries of greater interest to modern historians than such works might have been at later periods. Evelyn's work covers art, culture and politics, including the execution of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell's rise and eventual natural death, the last Great Plague of London, and the Great Fire of London in 1666.
