Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 18: September/October 1662" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the 17th century, specifically the early Restoration period in England. This volume continues the renowned diary of Pepys, a naval administrator and government official, detailing his daily life, professional duties, and personal reflections during a pivotal time in English history. The opening portion of the diary begins with Pepys documenting the various activities and meetings of his days, including interactions with notable figures in the Admiralty, reflections on events in the court, and personal anecdotes about his domestic life. He expresses frustrations over losing his key and the behavior of his household staff, while also revealing his concerns about maintaining his residence and reputation among colleagues. The entries highlight the blend of professional obligations and personal melodrama, as Pepys navigates his busy life in the context of the political and social structures of the time, depicting a man deeply engaged with both his work and the complexities of his relationships.
