About This Book

Daily entries record routine official business at government offices and note political disputes between rival bodies and legal quarrels. Social life appears in frequent tavern visits, dinners, and repeated attendance at the theatre, with observations on performances and company. Domestic moments recur, including interactions with family and servants, household concerns, weather, illness, and food. Practical record-keeping of appointments and finances is blended with candid reflection on public figures, legal procedures, and the shifting social and political atmosphere of the time.
