Royalty Restored Or London Under Charles Ii Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Royalty Restored or London Under Charles II, Vol. 1 of 2 NO social history of the court of Charles II. Has heretofore been written. The Grammont Memoirs, devoid of date and detail, and addressed 'to those who read only for amuse ment, ' present but brief imperfect sketches of the wits and beauties who thronged the court of the merry monarch Whilst the brilliant Frenchman sojourned in England. Pepys, during the first nine years of the Restoration, narrates such gossip as reached him regarding Whitehall and the practices that Obtained there. Evelyn records some trifling actions of the king and his courtiers, with a view of pointing a moral, rather than from a desire of adorning a tale.
