About This Book

The diarist records daily movements between ships, offices, and town, noting councils, inspections, financial transactions involving captured goods, and errands connected to official business, alongside visits with friends and moments of reading, music, and card-playing. Throughout the entries practical concerns about commerce and administration are balanced with domestic detail, wry personal reflection, social observation, and repeated remarks on the local severity and shifting course of the plague.
