John Evelyn was a cultivated man of property and means, and his diary takes readers from his childhood to a few weeks before his death. He lived through the Civil War, the Commonwealth, the Restoration, the reigns of Charles II and James II, the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the reigns of William III and Mary II, and the first part of the reign of Anne. He saw his country move from being one of the lesser, and least influential, states in Europe into a nation on the brink of being a major world power.
